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.
