calculated cells in datagridview

I am fairly new to VB.NET and need some help.  I am trying to have a form with a datagridview showing available tables in a room by summing the tables used in my Groups table and subtracting the sum from my master Rooms table.  (I can do this quite easily in MSAccess, so I am sure it can be done in VBasic).

Samples of my Tables on a SQL server

Rooms
Room     Tables    Seating     (The Seating is how many to a table)
__________________________
Room1      10        8
Room2      20        8
Room3      25        4


Groups
Group        Event Date     Room   Tables
______________________________________
ABC Co.      7/4/2008       Room1    4
XYZ Inc.      7/4/2008       Room1    3
LMNO LLC   7/4/2008       Room2    5

The SQL Statement looks like this and has no problems.

SELECT  Rooms.Room,
      ISNULL(Rooms.Tables - TableCheck.UsedTables, Rooms.Tables) AS AvTables,
      Rooms.Seating,
                     ISNULL(Rooms.Tables-TabCheck.UsedTables, Rooms.Tables)*Rooms.Seating AS AvSeating
FROM    (SELECT Room, SUM(Tables) AS UsedTables
        FROM [Groups]
        WHERE ([Event Date] = @evtDate) AND (Cancelled = 0)
        GROUP BY Room) AS TabCheck
RIGHT OUTER JOIN Rooms ON TabCheck.Room = Rooms.Room
WHERE (ISNULL(Rooms.Tables-TabCheck.UsedTables, Rooms.Tables) > 0)


I have it listed in my Dataset in the RoomsTableAdapter as both GetDataByAvRooms(@evtDate) and also FillByAvRooms(@evtDate).  The name of the datagrid is AvRooms.

I am filling the Datagridview thusly:
Me.AvRooms.DataSource = RoomsTableAdapter.GetDataByAvRooms(evtDate)

It is returning Rooms.Room and Rooms.Seating correctly.  I can't seem to return the data in the other columns.  Can someone help?

Can you show how would a resulting table of data look like?

Goran
Also, would you like to query for the calculated data from database, or you would like to calculate it based on the data from dataset?

Priest04,

The resulting calculated table should look like the following for @evtDate of 7/4/2008 from the sample tables:

Room     Available     Seating     Available
               Tables                           Seating
___________________________________
Room1          3               8                24
Room2        15               4                60
Room3        25               4               100

Currently, my datagridview is showing the Correct Rooms and the seating, but leaving the calculated fields of AvailableTables and AvailableSeating blank.  I only want to be able to view the resulting table.  

I would rather not caluclate data from the resulting dataset but I will if that is my only choice.
