12.2.2 Charting on summary or subtotal fields (Group layout)
Many of the charts you create are based on summary or subtotals within your report. In order to create
these charts, you must have a summary or subtotal already inserted into your report in a group header
or footer. For more information on inserting summaries and subtotals, see Summarizing grouped data
and Subtotaling.
