Summarizing
data provides a fast way to understand how a group of data values
are performing and how subgroups compare to one another. SAS Web
Report Studio enables you to display the measures summarized, such
as a summation or average, at one or multiple levels within tables.
A summary for all values is called a total and a summary for a subgroup
of values is called a subtotal. These totals and subtotals can be
displayed above or below the group of values (for multidimensional
data sources only). You can choose to add totals and subtotals for
rows, columns, or both. When you need to understand how an individual
item contributes to a group of values, you can add table cells to
display the percent that value represents of the overall total, subtotal,
or both. Totals, subtotals, and percent of total calculations help
you evaluate metrics at higher levels and compare groups at the same
level to determine where to focus your analysis.
