About Data Source Reports

Data source reports are ad hoc reports that use one crosstabulation table to present the results of a query that is based on the first two categories or hierarchies and the first measure in a selected data source. Data source reports contain only one section and are automatically refreshed. If the selected data source is multidimensional, then the report section is synchronized.
