Hi everyone,

I have a table that I'm trying to add Totals to the Footer of the report. That in itself is not difficult. Here's where I'm having troubles. The field is a Y/N field and I only want to count where the field is Y. The syntax is where I'm having troubles and the book I have doesn't cover this. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I was trying =(Count(Fields!XYZ.Value) where XYZ = 'y')

Thanks,

Addy

Try this:

=IIF(Fields!XYZ.Value = 'y', COUNT(Fields!XYZ.Value), "Do the false portion here..")

unfortunately, =IIF(Fields!XYZ.Value = 'y', COUNT(Fields!XYZ.Value), "Do the false portion here..") wouldn't work. The scope comes out wrong. CountIf seems to be the best way to get this done, but isn't supported in RS. Any other thoughts?

Create another dataset, with another sproc that returns the count based on your where condition. Drop it in its own table header / footer.
