Record vs Group Selection Formulas

[kimr]

I have a report that groups data based on a formula.

EX: formula-A (if field1 = "XYZ" then "A" else "B")

Group1 grouped by formula-A

I select data with a record selection formula:

((field1 = "XYZ" and field2 = 0) or
(field1 <> "XYZ" and (field2 = 0 or field3 = 0)))

Does this work the same way as using a group selection formula - where I assume you would replace the reference to field1 to the group name or the formula name?

What is the difference as far a efficiency?

Group Selection formula aims at allowing you to apply conditions on summary values per group. This is something that a record selection formula can't do.
