Sets grouping options for the selected item in the left pane of the Excel window. The grouping options define the properties that group the input data into composite rows when one row of output is based on multiple rows of input, such as in MTO reports.

Many of the delivered reports use grouping definition. The graphics below show the properties identified by the delivered Piping Pipe Total Length Sorted by NPD report.
