Creating and Using Report Tables
Displaying the Peak Summary

Use the Summary worksheet in the Report (see Report Tables  The Peak Summary Report) to show certain results from all samples.

The required steps are described in How to …: Creating and Using Report Tables:

 Displaying a Report and

 Adding and/or Renaming a Worksheet.

The Summary worksheet represents, e.g., data of a specific peak from all samples (generally from a Sequence) while the Integration and Calibration worksheets of the Report Definition File (RDF) list the data of the peaks from one sample.

To display, for example, the amount of different peaks of all samples of a sequence in one table, select Column Properties on the context menu. Select Peak Results from the Categories list, and then select Amount from the Variables list and have Chromeleon display the value for certain peaks (Fixed Peak(s)). The default setting shows the values for the currently Selected Peak. Determine the peak for which the data are displayed by clicking the peak in the above chromatogram.

The default Summary report contains several columns. In addition to the sample name and the retention time, it also includes the Area, Height, Amount, Types, and Plates columns. When you select a peak in the chromatogram, the values of this peak are included in the Summary report. If the selected peak is not contained in a sample, this line remains empty (n.a. = not available).

Below the sample list, there are the lines Average and Relative Standard Deviation. The average value of a column is calculated and displayed. The relative standard deviation from this value is indicated in percent.

The user can modify the default Summary report at any time. However, it is recommended to keep this report page. If another report is required, create an additional Peak Summary report page with new column assignments.

 Note:

Instead of a single sequence, the Summary report can also be started based on a Query. Then, the Summary may include different samples from different sequences.
