Building out sums inside of a table (SSRS 2000)

Hi all,
I am converting some Crystal reports... and replacing formulas which
are automatically grouped in Crystal. Essentially, I am comparing two
different date ranges, and need to be able to know how many items were
shipped for each customer/item combination within each date range.
I have created calculated fields to hold the quantity shipped if that
row falls in the appropriate date range... this just adds the quantity
shipped in the field if it falls within the appropriate date range.
Qty2ShipPD1=IIF(( Parameters!startInvoicePD1.Value< Fields!
inv_dt.Value AND Parameters!EndInvoicePD1.Value> Fields!inv_dt.Value),
Fields!qty_to_ship.Value,0.0)
and
Qty2ShipPD2=IIF(( Parameters!startInvoicePD2.Value< Fields!
inv_dt.Value AND Parameters!EndInvoicePD2.Value> Fields!inv_dt.Value),
Fields!qty_to_ship.Value,0.0)
I need to build out a table that looks close to the following example:
Cust No
Item No Total for the Period
{need total quantity here}
PD1 {Qty2ShipPD1}
PD2 {Qty2ShipPD2}
I created a matrix control and dragged cus_no, item_no into the rows,
with item_no in the columns, and then summed the Qty2ShipPD1 in the
Details...
This works, in the sense that I am actually getting grouped
information which is correct for the customer/item combinations...
But the format won't work, and I have no idea how to do the same thing
in a table. Every time I do it in a table, I just get the same,
entire sum for the entire query for the two calculated fields.
Help?
THANKS!
JoshAlternatively - is there a way I can use a Matrix Control with only 1
column? If so, I might be able to live with that.
Thanks,
Josh

In my
Sum statement, I was referencing the entire dataset, and not just the
group. I just didn't know I could reference the group.
*This* works...
=Sum(Fields!qty_to_ship.Value, "table1_Group1")
*This does not (well, it gives me values for the entire dataset)
=Sum(Fields!qty_to_ship.Value, "devdbds")
FYI. Hopefully this will help someone else.
THANKS

Building a Generic Report Viewer

I am just learning SSRS. I am coming from a Crystal Reports background. In
the app that I am upgrading to SSRS, I had a generic report viewer that I
fed the name of the report. The viewer than opened the report pulled out
the data source and set it and passed through any selection criteria from
the app and then ran the report in the viewer.
Is this possible with SSRS?
Will the report viewer sit in the client side app and I set the processing
mode to remote? I am doing a remote app connecting through a VPN to a SQL
Server 2005 database.
Thanks
BillGWhat you want is the report viewer control (winform or webform) that ships
with VS 2005. There is no viewer control that ships with RS. You have to get
the control via VS 2005 (or VS 2008). It does exactly as you describe.
