Calculating between 2 tables in one report

Goodmorning,

In one report I have 2 tables. Both tables are related to a different data set. Now I want to create a calculating between a field of the table 1 and a field of table 2.

Does anyone know how to?

Thx anyway!

I have the same problem.

My tables(matrices) look like this:

Revenue Report(matrix)

Jan Feb Mar .........

Account 1 $100 $200

Account 2 $50 $300

Subtotal $150 $500

Expense Report (matrix)

Jan Feb Mar .........

Account 1 $100 $100

Account 2 $0 $300

Subtotal $100 $400

Grand Total $50 $100

I need the Grand Total for each month (subtract Expense subtotal from Revenue subtotal)

Both of you can use this AMAZING trick! Very powerful.

Simply store the totals of your first table in a dictionary, do the same for your second table. Then, to get the grand total simply retrieve the values and add them up.

Here is a link to a post that will explain you what I mean by 'dictionary':

Thx Choquette for your answer!

I've used my free weekend for devolping a different solution. Its only usefull for my specific situation. In short: I've created a new dataset, summing the totals of that new dataset en used it in my calculation.

If I have the time I would absolutely try your suggestion. Thx again!
