Grand totals page

We have a report that includes a list that expands down to 17 inches to accomodate two pages for a report and this list is grouped on a particular location. Each report is grouped by State. So in each state there can be many locations that report various items that comprimse two pages.

Now, what we need is a "state grand total" page and I am wondering about the best way to go about doing this. We do not want to create a new report with a separate stored proc that returns grand totals. What we would like is to do a running total or something like that. I could then include this on a subreport, but I need it to be the last page. For some reason, I thought there was a Report Footer section, but I only see Page Footer.

I hope I made myself clear enough and not being too confusing and I many thanks for any helpful information.

This is how I handle it. The auto total feature in RS is horrific IMO.

Grand Totals in Report Footer?

I have a table report with five groups and want to add grand totals to
my report footer. But if I add a field to the footer:
=Fields!Period_MonthToDate_Measures_B.Value
The footer shows the total of only the first item in the highest level
group. If I use a sum function:
=Sum(Fields!Period_MonthToDate_Measures_B.Value)
The total is five times the actual total, I guess due to the fact that
I have five levels.
How do I show the correct report total?
Thanks,
BurtBurt - I have been looking for an answer to a similar question - It would
strongly appear that MS didn't include this type of feature in this
release...and that is a kind way of putting it.

Grand Total of an iif expression

I have a report grouped on the user. The report calculates various
utilization totals based on the username. Some users have a Utilization = 100% for only 12 or 17 hours and other have a Utilization = 100% for 40
hours. At the group level, I can calculate the utilization with the
following formula...
=iif ( Fields!zUserID.Value ="USER1 ",
(Sum( Fields!zBillingWorkQty.Value , "GroupUserName") + Sum(
Fields!zQtyBilled.Value , "GroupUserName")) / 12 ,
iif ( Fields!zUserID.Value ="USER2 ", (Sum(
Fields!zBillingWorkQty.Value , "GroupUserName") + Sum(
Fields!zQtyBilled.Value , "GroupUserName")) / 17 , (Sum(
Fields!zBillingWorkQty.Value , "GroupUserName") + Sum(
Fields!zQtyBilled.Value , "GroupUserName")) / 40 ))
However, my issue is how do I get a grand total of this utilization on the
report footer. I cannot sum () this formula in the report footer. I receive
an error becuase of the "GroupUserName" parameter.
Is there a way to use the sum () function in the Report Footer and just
reference the name of the textbox in the group footer and it's corresponding
value that has already been calculated for each group?I probably do not understand your question very well, but you might try to
simply do the sum without regard to the groupings ( simply take out the
groups) and do the sum for the entire data set...

>|||The issue here is that I need a conditional total and percentage calculation
based on the users that billed time in the report. If User 1 and/or User 2
are in the report, then they have different criterias for utilization
calcualtons than everyone else. All other users are based on 40 hours a
week. I determine this already at the group footer, so it would be much
easier just to grand total the cell value of the group footer then to
re-engineer the formula for the report footer.
