Another way to get multiple-column reports
In an n-up report, the data is displayed across and then down. If you want your
data to go down the page and then across in multiple columns, as in a phone
list, you should create a standard tabular report, then specify newspaper
columns.
For more information on newspaper columns, see Chapter 6, “Enhancing
Reports.”
Using the Group style
The Group presentation style provides an easy way to create grouped reports,
where the rows are divided into groups, each of which can have statistics
calculated for it. Using this style generates a tabular report that has grouping
properties defined.
This Group style report groups by department and lists employees and salaries.
It also includes a subtotal and a grand total for the salary column:
For more about the Group presentation style, see Chapter 9, “Filtering,
Sorting, and Grouping Rows.”
Using the Composite style
The Composite presentation style allows you to combine multiple reports in the
same object. It is particularly handy if you want to print more than one report
on a page.
