                                            | Since everything else seems so basic in reporting would this be the correct way to get the difference between to fields in a report using expressions?=(Fields!firstnumber.Value) - =(Fields!secondNumber.Value)I also am assuming that they need to include the grouping that they reside in=(Fields!firstnumber.Value,"Group1") - =(Fields.secondNumber.Value,"Group1")Thanks for the helpCoachBarker |  |

                                          | =Fields!firstnumber.Value -Fields!secondNumber.Valueyou dont need to use group scope explicitly unless you're using the above expression in a scope outside of Group1. also i assume both of them contain numeric values else it will break. |
