The Report section uses tables as the basic building blocks of custom reports. Tables contain columns of dimensions and facts as determined by the Results items you place in the Dimensions and Facts panes in Table data layout.
To create a basic report:
Select Insert, then New Report.
Interactive Reporting creates a new Report section and inserts a blank table in the Body band of the report in the Content pane.
If desired, select Report, then Section Boundaries to view the bands for the report components.
If the Table data layout is not visible, click Table on the Section title bar to open the Table data layout.
Drag Results items from the Query Section pane to the Table data layout.
The Table data layout has two panes – Dimensions and Facts. Use the Dimensions pane to build dimension (label) columns, such as Month, Region, or Product Line. Use the Facts pane to build the facts (numeric values) in the report, such as Amount Sales or Units Sold. Results and Table items added to the Facts pane are totaled automatically.
