This web service retrieves the result data of a specified report, as well as the report's metadata. The report's result will be in a raw, preformatted format. This result will be stored in an array of ReportRow objects, which each such object representing a result row. Therefore, for each of the rows, an array of strings containing the data in each column of the result data will be present. Note: It is up to the web services client to convert this data from the string representation into the data type for each particular column. The data types for each column can be obtained with the SCHEMA function. For example, here is a Role Population report that contains two columns and specifies the number of users assigned to each user role:
