I posted this information in a previous post, but I wanted to phrase my problem somewhat differently. The problem is that I can't find a way in RS to add group totals. I have 2 groups--group 1 is table1_group1_pcode, group 2 is group2_account. The pcode is a segment of the accountnumber. I need to add the amounts for the accounts that have the same pcode, and then get the total for the pcode.

As you can see below, the pcode total comes to ($60,000) instead of 0. This is the expression I use in the pcode group footer.

=sum(Fields!AcctTran_1_Amount.Value)+ Fields!calc_beginBal.Value

If there is only one beginning balance for an account in the pcode group, this works. But if there is more than one beginning balance, as below, Reporting Services just takes the first beginning balance. Summing the beginning balances doesn't work. I've tried a running total with the group as scope, but I get an error message.

There doesn't seem to be a way in Reporting Services to add the totals for the accounts to get the total for the pcode. But this seems impossible to me. I'm thinking there must be a way. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Sue
