Creating a summary table
To create a summary table, complete the following steps:
1 Select a template.
2 Select one of the following data sources:
A data set included in a template
An information object
A data object
3 Select the dimension, attribute, and measure fields to use in the summary table.
As you did when creating a detail report, you use Table Builder to select the data fields for the summary table, and specify the order of appearance of the selected fields. Using Table Builder, you can also specify the following information:
Group date‑and‑time dimension columns by an interval.
Specify one or more aggregate functions to use for the selected measure columns.
Optionally create a filter condition at the data set level on any dimension or attribute column to limit the data displayed in the summary table.
