Examine the Summary Column Properties optional

9-8 Oracle Reports Users Guide to Building Reports ■ Compute At is Report. A compute level of Report means that the TotalTOTALPerSALES_REP_ID column will base its percentages on the sum of all of the TOTAL in the entire report. 8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each of the summaries in the data model. Notice the differences in the properties for each of the summaries. 9. It can also be a useful exercise to return to the Paper Design view and see where fields that correspond to the summaries are placed in the layout. For example, the field that corresponds to TotalTOTALPerSALES_REP_ID is placed inside the master repeating frame, R_G_SALES_REP_ID, but outside of the detail repeating frame, R_G_CUSTOMER_ID.

9.5 Summary

Congratulations You have successfully created a summary report. You now know how to: ■ create a data model with summaries and lay out the data with the Report Wizard. ■ format fields in the Paper Design view. ■ examine the summaries and their properties. For more information on any of the wizards, views, or properties used in this example, refer to the Oracle Reports online Help, which is available in Oracle Reports Builder or hosted on the Oracle Technology Network OTN, as described in Section 4.1.1, Using the Oracle Reports online Help . 1 Part II Building Group Reports The chapters in this Part provide steps to build group reports. In these reports, the rows of output are displayed as groups based on a single query or on multiple queries. Group reports can contain formula columns and the values of the report can be printed from top to bottom or across a page. ■ Chapter 10, Building a Single-Query Group Report A single-query group report contains a single query and divides the rows of a report into groups based on common values in one or more columns. For example, employees can be grouped based on department numbers, which means each department number prints only once for every group. Otherwise, the department number would print once for every employee in the department. These reports include the group left and group above reports and were earlier known as break reports or masterdetail reports. ■ Chapter 11, Building a Two-Query Group Report A two-query group report appears much the same as a single-query group report except that the former report uses multiple queries. Multiple queries enable you to simplify maintenance or make the data model easier to understand. ■ Chapter 12, Building an Across Group Report An across group report prints the values of a database column across the page instead of down. In these reports, the values in the master group print from top to bottom, and the values in the detail group print across the page, from left to right. ■ Chapter 13, Building a Group Left Summary Report A group left summary report consists of master record values, detail records, and
