Lesson 6: Adding Grouping and Totals (Reporting Services)

Add grouping and totals to your report to organize and summarize your data.

To group data in a report

  1. Click the Design tab.

  2. From the Report Data pane, drag the Date field to the Row Groups pane. Place it above the row called Details.

    Note that the row handle now has a bracket in it, to show a group. The table now also has two Date columns -- one on either side of a vertical dotted line.
