Tutorial 2: Grouping report data
This tutorial provides instructions for grouping customer data by credit limit. It uses the report from Tutorial 1: “Building a simple listing report.” The first tutorial shows how to build a simple report that lists customers in alphabetical order. This report builds on the first one and organizes customers into credit limit groups of $50,000.00, such as 0–49999, 50000–99999, 100000–149999, and so on.
