Grabbing a calculated field for a new calculation

I'm going to try and explain this as best as I can :)
I have calculated fields that has the following expressions - I've
named each textbox hoping that I could grab them in the expression but
I have no idea how':
1. totalMarket: =iif(sum(Fields!Wins.Value) = 0, 0, sum( Fields!
Wins.Value) + iif(sum(Fields!Pending.Value) = 0, 0, sum(Fields!
Pending.Value))) - iif(sum(Fields!Losses.Value) = 0, 0, sum(Fields!
Losses.Value))
2. remainingSales = =iif(Sum(Fields!Pending.Value)=0, 0, Sum(Fields!
Pending.Value))
I need the next text box (marketPercent) to do the following...
totalMarket - remainingSales / totalMarket
I used all the expression above to make it work - but there has to be
an easier way.. I tried using..
=iif(Sum(ReportItem!totalMarket.Value)) ... etc but that syntax did
not work... does anyone know how to grab the name of the textbox in
an expression?
ps - this is not a header or a footer - it's in the actual form
Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, referencing the textbox control by an alias is not
possible. Referencing the textbox by the expression used is most
likely the only way to reference it. Sorry that I could not be of
greater assistance.
