The group matrix is a powerful and flexible report that allows you to compare two measures. This could be the same subject on two different dates to view progress, comparing attainment in two different subjects or comparing two different measures in the same subject such as a test and a markbook score. Users set the parameters for the categories for each measure for easy comparisons.
