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.
