Can you provide more information, please?

You are probably selecting certain special columns and not filtering as you should, but can't be sure without more detail.

Try to select only the ID in the Data Source and see if you get duplicates.

Data Source is  Jazz Data Source in the Report layout  the Table Contains WI_NAME,SUMMARY,TEAM_AREA_NAME,ITERATION_NAME ( from a single Data set ) filters in Dataset are  WI_ARCHIVED = false TEAM_AREA_ARCHIVED = false and i have Report Parameter for ITERATION_NAME in the Result Report i have same Work Item appearing 7 Times

I understand you are also filtering by Project Area? Can you please also display the ID to make sure they are duplicates? What's the Table name you are querying the data from? I don't think it's the WORKITEMS table, as WI_NAME is not present there. Actually I don't recognise that. I would suggest to simplify the report or even start from scratch. Just select the WORKITEMS table, filter by Project Area, display just the ID and the Summary, and go from there. Please review all above comments.

It makes perfect sense. You were retrieving the APPROVALS, and NOT the WORKITEMS. The relationship between Work Items and Approvals is 1 -> n (this is, a work item can have several approvals). Therefore, you probably were looking at approvals that belonged to the same work item. Maybe you need some more self-training in BIRT and RTC to better understand the Table Names in BIRT and how to create reports. Please mark the relevant response as the Correct Answer if that helped you to fix your issue. Thank you.
