Inserting and formatting tables136
You work in the California branch of a retail clothing chain, and have been sent a report
showing revenue by quarter for the western region.
The data is presented in a vertical table, which presents the results by quarter for each of
the three western states, including California. However, it is not easy to compare the
results in a glance. You turn the chart to a crosstab to get a comparative view of the sales
results quickly.
You can change the format of existing tables on reports. Web Intelligence applies the new
template to the table values. You can change the template by:
• dragging a different table template onto a table
• using the Turn To dialog box
Applying a different template to a table using drag and drop
To apply a different template to a table using drag and drop:
1. Make sure you are working in Report View.
The Edit Report button is pressed in when you are in Report View and the report tabs
of each report in the document are visible.
2. Select the report tab that contains the table you want to modify.
3. Click the Templates tab.
