When should a matrix report be summarized?

A matrix report in SuiteAnalytics is a powerful tool for summarizing and analyzing data across multiple dimensions. The correct choice indicates that summarizing the report should occur after formatting the report.

This sequence is essential because formatting the report first allows you to visually structure the data layout, making it easier to see how the metrics will be presented. Once the formatting is established, you can accurately summarize the data in context, ensuring that the summary reflects the intended structure and presentation of the report.

After formatting, you gain clarity on how the data is organized, which can impact how you summarize it effectively. Summarization at this point helps in producing a concise representation of the dataset that aligns with the formatted layout, making the report more useful and the insights more accessible.

Prior to formatting, any metrics selected or data identified may not yet reflect how the final report will look, possibly leading to confusion or misalignment between the summary and the report’s presentation. Thus, following the formatting process with summarization ensures coherence and enhances the report’s insights.
