Tables
Tables give you great control over how to present data, including placing fields, grouping them, and sorting them. A table is composed of rows and columns, and each contains several cells. With such a structure a table is a good way to show any two-dimensional dataset.
For tables in a page report, you can embed additional charts inside them. When the embedded charts inherit the datasets from the parent tables, the report becomes powerful. Suppose you want to have a chart to give to each salesman showing this months sales. You can create a table with nothing except a group header panel with the salesman's name and insert a chart into the same panel that inherits it's data from the parent. When you run the report a chart will be created for every salesman. For more information, see Embedding Data Components in a Banded Object. You can also use customized controls to sort and filter data in page report tables at runtime.
