reportGroup

Topic group

A Group object for the report as a whole.

Property of

Report

Description

A Report object automatically has a Group object assigned to its reportGroup property. The groupBy property of this Group object is an empty string.

Use the reportGroup to calculate aggregates for the entire report, for example, a grand total; and for items in a report introduction or summary.

A reportGroup has a headerBand, a footerBand, and aggregate methods, just like any other Group object. Because the parent of the reportGroup is the Report object instead of a StreamSource or Group object, the object reference path to data is slightly different for components in the reportGroup.
