I have a report that i have totaled and working correctly and I am able to get the 2 columns to sum up but I need to get those 2 sumed columns to be divided to get the gross prof %.

The columns that I have summed are
=Sum(Fields!eqpsldamt.Value)
=Sum(Fields!grosspro.Value)

I need to take those summed values and divide them but I do not know the propper syntax to do this. I thought it would have been
=SUM(Fields!grosspro.Value) / SUM(eqpsldamt.Value)

But this did not work any help would be great thanks!

Use:-
=IIF(Sum(Fields!eqpsldamt.Value)>0,Sum(Fields!grosspro.Value)/Sum(Fields!eqpsldamt.Value),0)

I got it you need to go under format and place .###% and it will format it to display 8.34%

just for personal info what would i need to do to get it to show the value for each line. We did the SUM but how would I do it for each line.

=Fields!eqpsldamt.Value
=Fields!grosspro.Value
Would it be =IIF((Fields!eqpsldamt.Value)>0,(Fields!grosspro.Value)/(Fields!eqpsldamt.Value),0)

Well we first did the SUM expression that you gave me and it works wonderfull. I wanted to see if we can do each field now. see i was doing =SUM(Fields!grosspro.value and =SUM(Fields!eqpsldamt.Value). Now I just want to use just the fields instead of the SUM.

=Fields!grosspro.value
=Fields!eqpsldamt.Value

just like before but with out the SUM of the columns.
EQPSLDAMT Grosspro Gross%(This is the column i would like)
238499.00, 43234.00
583444.03, 62134.00
234518.54, 95783.34

Yup. that you can do by this

=IIF(Fields!eqpsldamt.Value>0,Fields!grosspro.Value/Fields!eqpsldamt.Value,0)
