Working with the Grouping Pane (Report Builder 2.0)

Groups are used to organize your report data into a visual hierarchy and to calculate totals. You can view the row and column groups within a data region on the design surface and also in the Grouping pane. The Grouping pane has two panes: Row Groups and Column Groups. When you select a data region, the Grouping pane displays all the groups within that data region as a hierarchical list: Child groups appear indented under their parent groups.

You can create groups by dragging fields from the Report Data pane and dropping them on the design surface or in the Grouping pane. In the Grouping pane, you can add parent, adjacent, and child groups, change group properties, and delete groups.

The Grouping pane is displayed by default but you can close the pane by clearing the Grouping pane check box on the View tab. The Grouping pane is not available for the Chart or Gauge data regions.

For more information, see Grouping Pane (Report Builder 2.0) and Understanding Groups (Report Builder 2.0).
