Working with Reports: A Beginner’s Guide
Types of Controls:
• Bound Controls: Automatically pull data from a specific
field (e.g., a customer name).
• Unbound Controls: Hold static content, like titles or
labels.
• Calculated Controls: Perform real-time calculations, such
as summing up a column of sales figures.
Sorting:
Grouping:
Group similar data together, such as all orders from the same
customer or all expenses in the same category.
• In the Group, Sort, and Total pane, add a new grouping
level based on a field (e.g., “Customer Name”).
• This creates a clear division in the report, with each group
displayed separately.
Tip: You can include subtotals for each group, such as showing
total sales per customer.
