Results Section

When you process a query or import data, Interactive Reporting retrieves data to your desktop and displays it in the Results section. Although the query may have accessed several different database tables, the results set is displayed as a single table. Each requested item is displayed as a column in the table and each database record is a row. The Status bar shows the date and time the results set for a particular Results section was last processed (or imported).

Use the Results section to:

Verify that your query returned the correct information.
Refine and extend the data set by applying filter conditions or create new computed or grouped items.
Sort or use text and column formatting features to enhance the appearance of data results.
Add summary totals or subtotals and compute them with data functions.
Print or export the retrieved data to other applications.

All reports, including tables, pivots, charts, and those created using the Report Designer, are based on the data that is retrieved to the Results section.
