When you group data, Impromptu sorts the data item you are grouping and removes duplicatevalues. You can organize your report by grouping on one or more data items.By associating a grouped data item to another data item, you can eliminate duplicateinformation from your report.You can associate one or more data items with a grouped data item. An associated data itemshould have a one-to-one relationship with the grouped data item. For example, Order No. is agrouped data item. For each order number, there is an Order Date. Order No. and Order Datehave a one-to-one relationship.
