Category
Any field of the data source can act as a category. The category is processed as follows: first, unique values are determined for the specified field, then a band is printed for each received value. Each time a band is printed, a filter of the type Category = Value is applied to the data source. For example, if you specify Currency Group as the category, then the Payment data source will be printed as follows:Currency

- Calculated Fields
Using this property, you can add calculated fields to the band dataset. You need to add calculated fields in order to group or sort by fields that are not present in the dataset but can be calculated based on its fields. Each calculated field is described by the following properties:
...
Header
A band header. Is printed first. It is characterized by the following properties:Colored
Печать содержимого колонтитула с выделением цветом. Работает, если принтер поддерживает инверсионную печать
Double Height
Двойная высота печати содержимого колонтитула
Double Width
Двойная ширина печати содержимого колонтитула

- Footer
...
- A band footer, displayed after the Header and Body of the band. The properties of the footer are the same as those of the header.
- Behavior

- linked with the band. By default, such bands are not displayed, even if they have a Header or Footer set.
- Before Start
A script that is executed before starting band processing. - After Finish
A script that is executed after the end of band processing. - Script
A script that is executed for each line of the data source, just before printing it. - XML Section
Used to export a printed document to XML. When exporting, the lines generated by this band will go to the section with the specified name. By default, the section name is the same as the data source name.
Memo
With In the help of a memo, individual separate fields of the data source or any text are can be displayed. Data source field names (variables) are enclosed in square brackets.
After the dataset is tied to the band, a memo can be placed inside this band. Variables from the dataset are inserted inside these memo, so the required dataset will be printed in the report.

It is important to understand that variables from a dataset can only be used within your its own band.

Setting Example
Let's assume that you need to set up filtering of the Dish in the bill by category. It should look something like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
[Classification] |
...
[Category1] |
...
Dish1 Dish2 Dish3 Total for category: [priceamount] [Категория2] Dish4 Dish5 Dish6 Total for category: [priceamount] Total for classification |
Solution:
- Add a calculated field with the required classification to the dish
...
- band (f.ex., the Category field)
- Set
...
- Category = Category for the band
- Group
...
- the band by the Category field
- Add another
...
- band of dishes to the
...
- band
- Add the same calculated field to the nested band and set the same grouping
- The field for displaying the dish name must be added to the nested band, the field for the category name — to the external one.
