Calculating percentages

I am creating a report like this.

I have totals by SalesPerson.

FOr each salesperson section, I have a total for the type of orders they have such as

Salesperson Code Total Sales

XXXX 1000.00 ( this is sum field by SalesPerson). This is group section

Type of order Sales$ for order % of total

Retail 300 (Sum field again by SP and Type of Order) Group Section

Resale 500

Other 200

I am trying to calculate the % of total field for each order type as Sales$per Order/TotalSales per Salesperson, however when I put in the expression it is using the Total Sales for the whole report and it comes up with a low number. DO any of you have any ideas on how to make this work, so that I can calculate the correct percentage ?

Thanks

In the percentage expression, add the grouping scope for the data that you would like the total sales to aggregate over. For example,

=Sum(Fields!Sales.Value)/Sum(Fields!Sales.Value, "SalesPerson") * 100
