I need to group and sum the amounts for some accounts. I need to group and sum by pcode(a section of the account number) and by the entire account number. Each account can have a beginning balance and transaction details.
This is an example:
Date Transaction # Journal Journal Reference Balance

1111
4-999-1111-2345
Account Beginning Balance ($1,425,412.00)
7/1/2008 16666-3 General Journal Close Financial Aid Balances $1,425,412.00

Account Ending Balance $0.00

4-999-1111-6789
Account Beginning Balance $1,428,893.00
7/1/2008 17777-4 General Journal Close Financial Aid Balances ($1,425,412.00)

Account Ending Balance $3,481.00

1111 Pcode Total ($1,425,412.00)








The pcode in the above example is 1111. I have 2 groups:
Group 1 is “table1_group1_pcode” to sum by pcode. The formula is
=sum(Fields!AcctTran_1_Amount.Value)+ Fields!calc_beginBal.Value
This is the sum of the transactions and the beginning balance per pcode

Group 2 is “group2_account” to sum by account. The formula is
=sum(Fields!AcctTran_1_Amount.Value)+ Fields!calc_beginBal.Value
This is the sum of the transactions and the beginning balance per account

There are a few different scenarios that can occur, such as no transaction details, one or more transaction details, no beginning balance, a beginning balance. As long as an account has at least a beginning balance or a transaction detail, it will show in the report.
Everything works except in certain cases such as the one shown above, where the pcode total should be 3,481.00, but is showing as (1,425,412.00).
Does anyone know why this scenario doesn’t work, and how I could fix it without harming all the scenarios where the formulas do work.

Thanks very much.
Sue
