Matrix Subtotals

I've just started using SSRS 2005 and am pretty impressed, however, I have
hit a stumbling block with Matrix sub totals, I have data displayed like so :
Client 1, 2006-01, £10000
Client 1, 2006-02, £15000
client2, 2006-01, £25000
client2, 2006-02, £10000
client2, 2006-03, £5000
(I have left out the pivoted data for simplicity - the above are all rows)
If I add a subtotal it totals all of the pivoted totals at the base of the
matrix but I actually want to subtotal on each client, for example, client1
would have a total of £25000 and Client2 a total of £40000. The subtotal is
grouped by creditorID ie Client1, Client2 so I'm not sure what I am missing.
Is it even possible to subtotal by each group? Any help appreciated
MarkHi Mark,
Thank you for your posting!
Based on my experience, you could do this. I assume you use the date field
as the row group. The easied way to do this is right-click the text of the
date field and click Subtotal. Then you could get the subtotal of date
field and grouped by the creditID field.
Hope this will be helpful!

subtotal to the CreditorID field it adds a grand total at the end of the
matrix, if I add it below the period / date field it gives a wildly
inaccurate figure. Could it be something to do with Scope - been searching
the net for Scope info but not much luck - I think I'll need to go back to
the drawing board on this one,
Can you recommend any good books or links which go into Matrix reports in
detail. Any further help greatfully received.
