Include Text in a Report Section

To insert text into your report, complete these steps:

Click on the horizontal toolbar. An empty placeholder object for the text object is placed in the next available cell in the layout grid.
Right-click in the text object, and then select Edit to open the Edit Text dialog box.
Enter text into the text box. There are three methods that you can use, and you can use a combination of all three methods:
- You can type the text.
- You can insert a measure value.
  
  Select the name of the measure in the Measure value drop-down list, and then click Insert to place the measure name into the text box at the insertion point. Type at least one character or one space before entering any additional measure value. When you view the report, the text in the rendered report displays the aggregated value of the measure.
  
  Note: If you remove the inserted measure from the report, then the measure is also removed from the text.
- You can insert a prompt value.
  
  Select the name of the prompt in the Prompt value drop-down list, and then click Insert to place the prompt name into the text box at the insertion point. Type at least one character or one space before entering any additional prompt value. The text in the rendered report displays the value that you entered for the prompt.
Note: You can always type text, but the availability of prompts and measures depends on the data items that are selected for the report section.
