CHAPTER

Using Subreports

As you become more sophisticated in your report designing abilities, you will find at times that it’s difficult, if not impossible, to create certain kinds of reports. For example, you might want to create one of the following:

 

•   A single-page Company Condition dashboard that contains an accounts receivable bar chart in the upper left, an accounts payable summary in the upper right, a payroll expense gauge chart in the lower left, and a Top 10 sales summary in the lower right. At the bottom of the report, you’d like some grand totals for each of the summary reports.

•   A listing of orders by customer for the month that also has a summary of the top five products sold during the month, regardless of customer.
