Summary

In this hour, you have learned about three of the key aspects to creating powerful reports filtering, sorting, and summarizing. Filtering data enables you to focus your audience on a subset of key data by filtering out data that is either not appropriate for a given report or that lies outside of a threshold.

By learning how to sort both records and groups, you've gained an easy way to draw attention to the top or bottom numbers. Finally, you learned how to create summaries to reveal correlations in the data that would otherwise not be apparent by looking at the raw data itself. The mastery of these three features is a step down the road to creating powerful and effective reports.
