Grouped data is data that is sorted and broken up into meaningful groups. In a customer list, for example, a group might consist of all those customers living in the same Zip Code, or in the same Region. In a sales report, a group might consist of all the orders placed by the same customer, or all of the orders generated by a particular sales representative.
When data is grouped, four sort and group direction options are available. Direction refers to the order in which the values are displayed.
The Insert Group dialog box appears.
Note: By default, the group header of the report will display the value of the field you are grouping on.
For example, if you grouped by {Customer.CustomerID}, at each change of a group you will see the corresponding customer ID. If you want to display a different value (customer ID as well as customer name), customize the group name field by choosing an alternate data field, or creating a formula.

If your records within each group are unsorted, you need to sort the records within each group. See Sorting records within groups.
