To add a Cross-Tab to an existing report

In this example, a Cross-Tab is added to an existing report to show the sales in North America compared to the rest of the world.

    The Country field is added to the Rows area.

  2. From the Available Fields list, click Last Year's Sales, then click Add Summarized Field.

    The Last Year's Sales field is added to the Summarized Field area.
