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.
