A table consists mainly of columns, rows, and groups:

• The columns in the table correspond to the tables in the data source. They are included by adding fields or measures to the table in the Report Designer.
• The rows in the table correspond to the rows in the database. The information it has in each row depends on what columns are included in the table.
• The groups are used so the rows can be grouped by the same values in any of the fields with intermediate summaries for each grouped values.
