Tabular and Matrix reports

Tabular: The most basic type of report. Each column corresponds to a column selected from the database.



Matrix Report is a cross-tabulation of 4 groups of data:

1. One group of data is displayed across the page.
2. One group of data is displayed down the page.
3. One group of data is the cross-product, which determines all possible locations where the across and down data relate and places a cell in those locations.
4. One group of data is displayed as the "filler" of the cells.

Matrix Reports can be considered more of a pivot table.
