Apply a summary function

You can assign a function that performs summary calculations on numeric values in columns, groups, or in the entire report. Perform the following steps to apply a summary function:

1. Click the down arrow next to a report column containing numeric values.

2. Select Summary from the menu, then choose the summary type. These types are described in the following table:

   Summary Type	Description
   None	No summary function assigned.
   Average	Calculates the average value in a given column.
   Count	Counts the items in a group or report, but does not require a numeric value.
   Count Distinct	Counts the distinct occurrences of a certain value in a column; does not require a numeric value.
   Maximum	Identifies the highest or largest value in a column.
   Minimum	Identifies the lowest or smallest value in a column.
   Sum	Calculates a total sum of the group or report (group level, and running total in the report footer).

3. Save the report.
