DateGrouping Property

Applies To Report.

Description

You can use the DateGrouping property to specify how you want to group dates in a report. For example, using the US Defaults setting will cause the week to begin on Sunday. If you set a Date/Time field's GroupOn property to Week, the report will group dates from Sunday to Saturday.

Note The DateGrouping property setting applies to the entire report, not to a particular group in the report.
