You can customize grids by calculating data rows and columns. You can use functions to refine your report data or to add dynamic data, such as the date the report was created. You can also cut, copy, or paste rows or columns within a grid or across multiple grids.

Before you begin to customize grids, you must insert at least one grid and define its dimension layout. To customize a report, you must insert a text box or a grid in your report. For more information, see Adding Report Objects.
