Overview

 You can change the data returned for selected fields on your report by grouping the values. This provides you with the ability to add additional layers of analysis to your reports.

Grouping Age Example

The example below groups the results of the age column into a segment group. People with an age 13 and 18 (inclusive) are grouped as teenagers.
For example:

Age

Sales

16

$1,500

17

$750

25

$1,300

Update ages to group all between 13 and 18 into a Teen bucket.

Age

Sales

Teen

$2,250

25

$1,300
