[SAP BO] How To Format Breaks

 

How to format breaks in Business Objects(BO)

A break does what its name implies. It breaks up the data in a table or crosstab by grouping the data according to a selected value. This allows you to display all the data for each value of a dimension variable together, and more importantly, it allows you to display subtotals.

The table on the left displays the revenue per quarter per resort with the total revenue displayed at the bottom of the table. The table on the right displays the same data but, by breaking up the data by resort, you can now show a subtotal for the revenue generated by each resort for the four quarters of the financial year.
