Hello There,

would anyone help me understand whether a stepped report approach is recommended or traditional table reports
(where we place the parent group in an adjacent column on the report) is recommended?

Thank you for giving your valuable time.

    Hi @ArunRaaman

    In my opinion ,a stepped report or traditional table report is the same essentially,just put the parent group and child groups in the same column.

    Here is a thread about how to create a stepped report,you can take a reference:

    Best Regards,
