Hide details on grouped reports

Key Takeaway

Hiding details on a grouped report stops the individual records from displaying, but the groupings and summary numbers, such as subtotals and record counts, stay visible.

Hiding details lets a grouped report show only its summary information, without listing every record under each group. It suits readers who want summary numbers only, such as record counts or totals per group, when nobody needs to scroll through every record.

What happens when you hide details

When you hide details, the individual records no longer display in the report. The summary information stays visible, so the reader still gets the numbers for each group. These parts of the report stay visible:

  • Groupings
  • Subtotals
  • Grand totals
  • Summary formulas
  • Record counts

Hiding details is not the same as filtering. A filter limits the records a report returns. Hiding details only stops the individual records from displaying.
