Review key report metrics in the header of the report run page in Lightning Experience. The Lightning Experience report header displays up to 8 metrics, in the order that they appear in the report, from left to right. These metrics include summaries such as average amounts, grand totals, subtotals, record counts, and formula column results.

To quickly view or hide a report’s count of rows, detail rows, subtotals, or the grand total record, use the toggles in the report footer. For matrix reports, the footer includes the option to switch between stacked and unstacked summaries' view. Stacked summaries appear together, whereas unstacked summaries appear in distinct columns.

  • refresh the report
