How does a Formula Row function in a report?

A Formula Row in a report serves to perform calculations and analyze data by combining multiple rows or sections using mathematical functions. This functionality allows users to derive insights directly within the report, such as summing totals, averaging values, or applying other mathematical operations to the underlying data. This versatility in handling and processing data makes it an essential tool for users looking to extract meaningful information from the reports they create.

By using a Formula Row, users can create custom calculations that might not be directly available through standard grouping or summarization methods, enabling a more tailored approach to data analysis. This is particularly valuable in financial reporting, where precise calculations are often required for accurate decision-making and assessment of financial performance.
