What does selecting a component determine in the subtotaling process?

Selecting a component during the subtotaling process directly influences the rows of the report. When a component is selected, it defines how the data will be grouped or aggregated, determining the way information is displayed in each row. This can affect various aspects of the report structure, such as which categories or metrics appear, and how totals are calculated for those groupings.

For instance, if you were to choose a specific category as a component, the report would organize data based on that selected category, ultimately shaping the content and number of rows presented. The focus here is on the granular details of the report's layout and content organization, which revolves around the rows being impacted by the selected component.

In contrast, the other options pertain to different aspects of the reporting process. For example, while filters modify what data is included in the report, they do not dictate the format or structure of the rows themselves. The number of report viewers and data export formats are also unrelated to the subtotaling process and the organization of information in the report’s rows. Thus, the correct response highlights the critical role of the component selection in shaping the overall data presentation.
