SSRS 2005 Summing Issue

Using the part above, can you show an example of what the expected out come is?

Group by Category, then group2 by Product. Place textboxes in group2 footer and sum the values. You do not need to show a detail row, unless you need too.

Planocz,

I am trying what you are suggesting but getting and error. "Aggregate functions can be used only on report items contained in page headers and footers."

I placed a textbox in the group 2 footer and named it sum_txtBx. Now in the group 1 footer I have this expression, =Sum(Reportitems!Sum_txtBx.Value).


Aelliso3, The final result set should be like below. Also, this should be done at the table level if possible.

Category  
    Product    Sale  Budget Cnt.    Budget Amt.
   1
        123    47    1500           10,000

   2
        151    107    2600          50,000

Total          154   4100           60,000

Select allOpen in new window

Each column has to look like this....
                       Sale                           Budget Ct.
                    =Fields!Sales.value       =Fields!Budget.value
Totals        =Sum(Fields!Sales.value)       =Sum(Fields!Budget.value)

The sales column needs to be summed and the budget Ct. not summed at the product level.
My dataset contains multiple individual sales to each product that need to be summed at the product level but since the budget is assigned at the product level I can only return the budget amt/cnt as the full value on each individual row in my dataset.

So when I am looking at the totals for a paticluar product, I can use =First(Fields!Budget_Cnt.value) but when I need the totals for a Category, It needs to be the the first budget value from each product in my dataset summed together.

This is what I am looking for,

                                         Product_Name                        Sales                                     Budget

Table Header        =(Fields!Category_Desc.value)

Table Details        =(Fields!Prod_Desc.value)   =Sum(Fields!sales.value)   =First(Fields!Budget.value)  -- The Table Details groups by Prod_Desc

Table Footer                      Totals:                    =Sum(Fields!sales.value)   =Sum(First(Fields!Budget.value)) -- "This does not work"




Thanks for the help.

You have to use group footers, not table footer.

Say I move it to this format,


Grp_1 Header        =(Fields!Category_Desc.value)   -- groups by Category_Desc

Grp_2 footer        =(Fields!Prod_Desc.value)   =Sum(Fields!sales.value)   =First(Fields!Budget.value)  -- groups by Prod_Desc

Grp_1 Footer                      Totals:                    =Sum(Fields!sales.value)   =Sum(First(Fields!Budget.value))


How would you handle the budget value in the Group 1 footer?



Thanks,

the detail row will be between the grp1 header and grp2 footer should work with the setup you have above

I guess I am not following. It is the grp_1 footer that I am have the issue. The expression =Sum(First(Fields!Budget.value))
 is not working for me.

Thanks

The totals have to be on the last group which is grp2 not grp1
if you want sums for grp1 you will have to add the grp1 footer for those sums.
 

Yes, I do want a sum for grp 1 and my issue is that I can not add up the grp 1 footer for the budget column.

I think you  are wanting...
=First(Fields!Budget.value)  -- Sum(Fields!Prod_Desc.value)

can not sum Fields!Prod_Desc.value, it's only a description field.

=First(Fields!Budget.value) only works at the product level. will not work at the category level.

I actually thought of going this route but was hoping that I could keep the procedure returning all details and doing the grouping at the report, this way I could re-use the procedure for other detailed reports.

Now that you mentioned it, it is not a big deal to have two different versions of the procedure.

Thanks,
