Grouping (Report wizard)

Introduction

You can divide the information in your report by using group sections; for example, you may prefer to see a list of contacts grouped by town or city.

Each group section in your report has a header at the start of the information set, and a footer at the end. For example, the group header might show a title for that group, and the footer might show a subtotal for the group.

The group header and footer are placed either side of the details section, which is the main body of the report.

Multiple levels of grouping can be used; for example, a list of contacts could be grouped by type (private, corporate, government), and then by city or town.

As the group section will sort information into sets, the group sort will take priority over any sorts that are applied to information within the group. You can set up sorts in the next stage of the wizard.

Add groups to your report

To add group sections to your report:

1. From the Fields on the report list, select the variable that you want to group the section by.

2. To add the variable to the Fields to group by list, click >.

   • To remove it from the list, select it and click <.
3. When you have finished adding groups, click Next.

Note: You can add or edit group sections in your report after finishing the report wizard. See Group information.
