Using an expression
for a group
If you want to use an expression for one or more column names in a group, you
can enter an expression as the Group Definition on the General page in the
Properties view after you have finished using the Group wizard.
❖ To use an expression for a group:
1 Open the Properties view and select the group header band in the Design
view.
2 Click the ellipsis button next to the Group Definition box on the General
page to open the Specify Group Columns dialog box.
3 In the Columns box, double-click the column that you want to use in an
expression.
The Modify Expression dialog box opens. You can specify more than one
grouping item expression for a group. A break occurs whenever the value
concatenated from each column/expression changes.
