# Group data

You can organize the data in your interactive reports by grouping it by different fields, such as geographic region, product line, or both.

Use any of the following three methods to group data in your report:

* To group data that is already a column in your report, click the column header and drag it up above the other headers in your report. Release the mouse button once the horizontal green line appears.
* To group data in a field that is not already a column in your report, drag it from the **Data** tab in the left pane. Drop the field in the space above the report headers.
* To group data by more than one field, you can nest it into a group by dragging the field or column header beneath the original group.

Now your data is grouped and organized in your interactive report. You can also sort the data by clicking on the arrows that appear next to the group names, or [create some filters](/pba/pentaho-interactive-reports-cp/advanced-topics/create-advanced-filters-in-interactive-reports.md) to further refine your data.

After you are done, just click **Save**or **Save As** and choose the location to store your report.
