Using the Group style

The Group presentation style provides an easy way to create grouped DataWindow objects, where the rows are divided into groups, each of which can have statistics calculated for it. Using this style generates a tabular DataWindow object that has grouping properties defined.

This Group style report groups by department and lists employees and salaries. It also includes a subtotal and a grand total for the salary column:

The sample for Group presentation style has the title Employee Report and beneath it the date. A heading set off by rules has column labels Department I D, Employee I D, First Name, Last Name, and Salary. Beneath the heading is department I D 500. Grouped beneath that in all the other coloumns is the data for the department. At bottome are the salary total for the department and the salary grand total.
