Mapping on Cross-Tab summaries (Cross-Tab layout)

With the Cross-Tab layout, you can map on a Cross-Tab summary field. For
example, with a Cross-Tab that shows the total number of items of a product
sold in each region of the United States, you may want to include a map that
shows the percentage of the total sales of the product provided by each
region.

In order to create a Cross-Tab map you must first have a Cross-Tab in your
report. For more information about Cross-Tabs, see

Cross-Tab Objects
