Expanding Groups in an Expanding Group
To create more flexible reporting, you can create expanding groups inside other expanding groups to create nested expanding groups.
An expanding group inside another expanding group can be thought of as a hierarchy. Imagine there are two data sets, one alphabetical and the other numerical (A, B, C… & 1, 2, 3…), and one is an attribute of the other.
Create a nested expanding group
-
Drag the relevant data items into the report definition.
-
In the OneStop Reporting dialog box, click Create a new selection group on the Row. NOTE: The two data items must be placed in consecutive rows.
By default, Report Designer creates two separate expanding groups. However, you want to create a nested expanding group.
-
In the Layout Editor window, drag the expanding group box so that it extends over multiple rows.
The reports for separate expanding groups (left) and a nested expanding group (right) are shown in the figure below.
