Rice writes "I was wondering if someone could explain to me why my Group Filtering doesn't work.
I have a table where I am selecting six types of Actions and all of their totals.
(Here is an example of my output.)
JAN-2005 Cycle
NEW 3
REN 4
CANC 10
REI 3
NET 7
END 4

Now I need to total those counts but I do not need any of the NET values in my totals. The reason being is that NET equals CANC minus REI - so I don't need that 7 count because it would be doubling up.
I have a Group created based on monthly cycles. So underneath each monthly cycle I need the data to total without including NET. I placed a filter on the Group Footer where my totals are but it doesn't work. All my totals still include the NET records.
My filter in my Group Footer looks like this -
Expression Operator Value
=Fields!ActionCode.Value != 'NET'

I am running SQL Server Reporting Services SP1. So if that is my problem please let me know and I will upgrade to SP2.
Any help regarding this filtering mishap would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Rice"

I see people are really enthused about answering this question.
It's a simple question - does Group Filtering work and if so how is it done?
And if there is no such thing as Group Filtering then way did MS place a tab in the Edit Group selection called Filtering?

I could have my store procedure (SP) do this work but I figured Reporting Services was built for complex business reporting – but maybe I’m wrong.

Thank you,
Rice
