The next screen allows you to sort your data by any of the selected fields (in ascending or descending order).

You can add grand total for the numeric fields in your report. Furthermore, you can display subtotals for any groups you may have created.

The next screen in your Report Wizard allows you to add basic Excel formatting and/or outline any groups on the report using Excel’s Data Grouping.

Finally a review of the report is presented for you to review it. Once you have reviewed and are ready to proceed, you can click the Finish button to create your report.
