Data grouping can be invoked by using the click and drag feature to place column headings into the “Drag a column header here to group by that column” (group by) row above.  Once placed there, the data will automatically be grouped by the item.

 

Once a column has been selected and dragged into the group by area, summary data and breakdown features will appear.  To access records for a particular value, click on the expand button (box containing a plus “+” sign) and the records will be listed below.

Multiple levels of grouping can occur, as well, by placing additional column headings into the group by area.

To un-list the detail rows associated to a group, press the collapse button (box containing a hyphen “-“) and to remove the grouping all together, click and drag the column heading(s) from the group by area back into the row below it.
