Summary Tables Using Report Overlay
TableView supports overlaying reports for summary tables.
There are two methods you can use to overlay tables:
- Appending rows or columns places the data sources next to each other. Appending also always create new pages.
- Inserting rows or columns (interlacing/alternating rows or columns) displays interlaced columns, and expanded headers.
Overlay Mode
From the Overlay Mode drop-down menu, select from one of the following:
- Append as Rows
- Appends as Columns
- Insert as Rows
- Insert as Columns
When you select an area from the table to interlace columns, all cells above and below the selected area will be merged cells. In other words, they will be expanded horizontally to accommodate the new columns beneath/above them.
