(NOTE: The data refresh may take up to a minute to complete depending on the quantity of data affected.  Do NOT attempt to re-close the Customization box whilst the data refresh is in progress).

 

Once a Grouping has been applied, a sort or filter may be applied to the Grouped data.

If a filter has been applied to a Grouping, the filter must be cleared before the Grouping is removed.  To do this:

2.Select the "(All)" option from the subsequent listing.

 

Now remove the Grouping:

4.Drag the required field name to the Customization box and release the mouse button. (NOTE: If the filter has not been removed before the grouping option is undone, then a filtered view of the data will continue to be presented).
5.Repeat steps 1-4 as required.
6.Close the Customization box (click the cross in the top right-hand corner) to refresh the view of the data. (NOTE: If Prime is exited before the refresh has taken place, the filter will be retained by Prime for future use).
