Summary Reports
Summary reports (also referred to as matrix reports) show a count or a total of data by row groupings and column groupings, similar to a pivot table.
To create a summary report:
- Create a report using either the wizard or the manual method.
- On the Report tab, set the Report type to Matrix.
-
Go to the design tab.
If you specified two or more groupings in the wizard:
- Select one grouping and set the Axis field to Rows.
- Select another grouping and set the Axis field to Columns.
If you didn’t specify two or more groupings in the wizard, or if you used the advanced method:
- Choose the first field you want to group by and set the Group field to 1 and the Axis field to Rows.
- Choose the second field you want to group by and set the Group field to 2 and the Axis field to Columns.
- Choose the field you wish to use for the total (e.g. to get a count of learners for each group, choose TRAINEEID) and set the Axis field to Total.
- Save and run the report.
Please note that when you are setting the row and column groupings, you can group on multiple fields for rows and columns.
