If you selected Include Subtotals in the Include Subtotals and Grand Totals panel, you can use this panel to define how they appear.
Note FileMaker Pro Advanced uses the term subsummary to include not only subtotals, but also averages, counts, and other summary data for a subset of records (the categories of records you defined in the Organize Records by Category panel).
1. For Summary field, click Specify.
2. Choose a summary field from the list, or define a new summary field. (Only fields defined as the summary field type are available in the list.)
•To define a summary field in the current table, click Add. See Options for Summary Field dialog box (New Layout/Report assistant).
•To define a summary field in another table, choose Manage Database from the list. See Defining summary fields.

5. For Subtotal placement, choose an option.
6. Click Add Subtotal.
•To remove a subsummary, select the subsummary definition in Subtotals, then click Remove Subtotal or double-click the subsummary in the list.
•To change a subsummary, remove the subsummary definition and redefine it.
•When you define a subsummary in this panel, you are defining a leading subsummary part. If, for Subtotal placement, you choose Above record group or Above and below, you're also defining a trailing subsummary part. After you finish with the assistant, you can modify characteristics like pagination and page numbering. See Changing a layout part.
•For Subtotal placement, if you choose Below record group, FileMaker Pro Advanced creates not only a trailing subsummary part to hold the break field and the summary field you specify but also a leading subsummary part containing only the break field.
•If you define more than one subsummary for the same break field with the same placement, the order in which you define the subsummary fields in the assistant the order of the summary fields in the subsummary part in the report. You can change the order of the summary fields after you finish the assistant.
