Chapter 12. Creating Simple Statistics Lists with the SAP Query Tool
| In this chapter
Earlier chapters described how to maximize the use of the SAP Query tool to create basic lists (that is, simple column-based lists). This chapter discusses simple statistics lists. You can create three types of reports by using the SAP Query tool: basic lists, statistics lists, and ranked lists. The most common type of SAP report is a basic list report. The data displayed in a basic list report has not been auto-summarized to display summary detail only. Generally speaking, the data is displayed as it appears in the R/3 database. In contrast to basic lists, the data in statistics and ranked lists is output in a compressed, summarized format. You can create basic list query-based reports by using the steps covered in earlier chapters. When creating statistics list or ranked list reports, the main difference is that instead of selecting the Basic List button to proceed to the Basic List Line Structure screen, you select either the Statistics button or the Ranked List button on the Application toolbar (see Figure 12.1). Figure 12.1. You navigate to the appropriate query screen by clicking the correct button on the Application toolbar. |
