At this point the report will look like this:
Figure 72 – The Report showing the grouping by Department Name
Note the grouping by Department Name as well as the existence of the date and page
count at the top right of the report.
The following will now be done:
• Move the department name into the Group Header Band
• Add background color to the Group Header Band
• Add a child band after the Group Header band which will contain column
headers. The existing column header band will then be removed.
• Add employee count and sum of salaries for each department in the Group
Footer Band.
• Add a summary band containing a total employee count and sum of salaries.
Moving Dept. Name to Group Header Band
You cannot drag a field from one band to another, so to move the department name to
the Group Header Band, perform a cut and paste operation. Cut the dept_name field
from the Detail Band and paste it into the Group Header Band. You will need to move the
city and region fields to the left due to the removed dept_name. Also, drag the
dept_name field that now resides within the Group Header Band to the desired location.
Right-click the Group Header Band, and click Edit. Then choose a background color from
the color button within the displayed dialog box.
