Unlike the previous report only selected fields are displayed. Because it is based on selected fields the report is more concise than columnar report. The order is based on the selection and may not appear in the same order as the underlying table. Data verses Information Data and information are not the same thing. Data is raw material in the process and consists of the entries in the tables.
Information is the finished product.
All reports are based on an underlying table or results of a query within the database. While the table or queries are shown in tabular form, a report displays the information in a more attractive manner. In a report you have the capability to add graphics and format text to make the information more presentable. The Report header appears once at the beginning of a report. It typically contains information describing the report, it's title and date printed.
