How to add a group header and footer for a report

I have a report that is being called via stored proc, and i want to group by contract. when report gets generated i get multiple contracts info. but will be grouped/sorted by contract.

please how can i have a group header and also a group footer to show a summary of each contract information with some calculated fields in it.

i may get 100 records related to 10 contracts , 10 rows for each contract.

as soon as the first contract info is shown on the report it has to show a summary related to the first contract in the group footer, and then continue populating the second contract info and so on.

Please i am totally new to reporting and help would be appreciated. thank you all.

Here's what you can do:

Click anywhere on your table while in Layout.
Right click on the box next to your details row (it has 3 horizontal bold bars on it), and select 'Insert Group'.
On the 'General' tab, make sure 'Include group header' and 'Include group footer' are both checked.
In the 'Group on:' section, drop down the box and select your contract field. (Or you can type: =Fields!contract.Value)
On the 'Sorting' tab, again, pick or type your contract field as above.
On the 'Visibility' tab, make sure that the 'Visible' radio button is selected.
Hit 'OK' and now you can add your fields to the group header and footer.

Hope this helps.
