Report totals in SQL Server Reporting Services 2005

Do your totaling in the table footer (assuming you are using a table). The table footer will be displayed on the last page of the report and will be a sum over all groups regardless of page breaks.
=Sum(Fields!OwnerGrossIncome.Value)

If you want to see the total in the report footer on the last page you can refer to the textbox in the table footer.

A report may have dozens of tables. I already have a total for each table and I need need to total all of them.  

I'm talking about table objects, not database tables. I don't recall ever using more than 3 or 4 table objects in any report let alone dozens. How many table objects do you have in this particular report?

Depending on the state a user selects it could be dozens.  There is one table per property.

There seems to be a disconnect on the terminology and I'm not sure how to continue. Before I can help further, I need to ask if you're new to SSRS. If you just started working with it I will try to give a more detailed explanation with what I'm asking.

Yes, I am.  Trying to learn as I go along.  I do know the difference between database tables and table objects however.

So let's start here then. How many tables have you actually added to the report body? You mention that the tables are determined by the user's input (state?) and that there is 1 per property (what is a property?). Are you changing the Hidden property on these tables to show or hide them based on the input?

There is just one table in the report body.  There are actually about 3 variables that can determine how many actually show up on a report.  For the most part a user picks a state and each table correlates to a property in that state and includes line by line income from that property over a given date range.  I'm not hiding any tables but if you pick a date range and a property does not have any income during that time, it won't display, or if the user does not have access to revenue information for the given property.

If you only have 1 table in the body of the report then you only have 1 table...no matter what the user provides as input. You are probably thinking it's multiple tables because there is a group within the table and when the report is generated it appears like the table is repeating for the different groups (state, property, whatever the grouping is on).

Knowing that you only have 1 table in the body, I'm going back to my first answer. You can get a grand total for a field if you sum it in the table footer.
-Make sure that the table footer row is showing (screenshot).
-If the table footer is not showing, right click the details row header and select "Table Footer" from the popup menu (screenshot).
-In one of the table footer cells, sum the field that you want a grand total for (screenshot).
-Run the report and verify that the table footer is showing the grand total

I already have a grand total for each table.  I need to total those totals in the footer.

Can you do another screen shot that shows the left side of the table. I want to see the row where you've placed the subtotals.  

...and make sure you click on a cell in the table before taking the screenshot so that the the icons beside each row are shown

The developer before me did that.  It's not in the footer.

I did however put it in the footer myself earlier and the problem still remained.

Let's forget the report footer for the moment and focus on getting the total in the table footer.

Copy one of the group totals and paste it onto the table footer row (use the one in the screenshot). Just do one for testing. If it is not providing a grand total for all the groups then take a screenshot so that I can clearly see the full expression you've entered into the cell on the table footer row (I need to see the *entire* expression).

...and the screenshot...

That works as it should.

I used the same formula as the field above, however.

Is that table sitting on a List object? If it is, that would explain why the table footer sum is matching each of the group footers. Click just above the table and look at the properties window. Is it referencing the report body or a list object?

It is a list.  It looks like there might be one on top of another.

and if there is a list within a list then you might want to put the textbox inside of the first list but outside of the second. You will have to test to see what the appropriate location is for the textbox.

Okay, we're getting close.  I found that there are three lists.  I played around with putting the new text box in each of them and it looks like outside of all of them is what I want.  However, when I reference =Sum(ReportItems!OwnerGrossIncome.Value) the value is blank in the footer and instead appears below the body on the last page.

Is the name of the textbox "OwnerGrossIncome"? Click on the textbox and check the value of "Name" in the properties window.

Oh wow, I really have been staring at this too long.  That worked!!!  I really can't thank you enough.

You are a lifesaver!
