3. Grouping, sorting, totals and page breaks

Basic★ Must knowLesson 3 of 10
  • Row groups and column groups (parent/child/adjacent), with group headers/footers for subtotals.
  • Group expressions like =Fields!Region.Value; sorting per group; interactive sort on column headers.
  • Totals: right-click group → Add Total (Before/After).
  • Page breaks between group instances (e.g. one region per page), repeat header rows on each page (RepeatOnNewPage via Advanced Mode in the Grouping pane), KeepTogether.
  • Recursive hierarchy (parent-child data, e.g. org chart) using a group with a recursive parent and Level() for indentation.
