Modifying a summary table

Using BIRT Studio, you can work with summary tables to format data, organize data in groups, sort data, create filters, and insert charts as you would for a detail table. This section describes the actions you can perform on dimension columns, attribute columns, measure columns, and each column header. Table 6-1 lists the actions you can perform on dimension columns, measure columns, attribute columns, column headers, and the entire report table.
