Is there "move up" functionality similar to "drop"?

In the general tab for a cell, there is the option to Drop a cell down into the detail line, used for dropping a group header down into the first detail line of the group. Is there a way to move a group footer up into the last detail line of the group?<br />

I want my report to look like this:<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>Name Date Amount Total
Bob 1-1-12 $20
1-2-12 $30
1-3-12 $40 $90

Sue 1-1-12 $10
1-2-12 $15
1-3-12 $12 $37</pre>

Can I assume by the silence that this is not a simple thing to do? Or is it so simple that it's not worth the time to tell how simple it is?

Hi benjones,

I was intrigued by your question and I put a watch on it because I was also curious if anyone would reply. There isn't a move-up feature that I'm aware of but there might be a clever way to accomplish it. You can create an aggregate binding in the table which will show the total no matter where you put it, even in the detail. So you could put that total in the detail but the trick is how to hide it on every row except the last one prior to the end of the group. That I'm not sure about. Another possibility is perhaps you could put the total in the group header and "drop" it and also vertical align it to bottom. Maybe that would work. Just speculating. I haven't tried any of these.

Well, the suggestion to put it in the group header, drop it, and then change the vertical alignment to Bottom appears to have done the trick. Thank you for your help!
