The Tables sections
While each query contains only one Results section, Table sections are used to create subsets of data from the Results section. Tables are commonly used by the business analyst to create multiple presentation sections displaying different datasets from a single query. The Table section receives data from a Results section, and Table section functionality is nearly identical to the Results section. Multiple tables can be added underneath each query allowing for the segmentation and filtering of data from the Results section.

Tables are added to a document through selecting the New Table item from the Insert menu.
