Reports Grouping

I have a report that i'm creating that groups by Company. It looks
something like this:

Group Shipments

HM
0 2
1 3
2 4
3 5

Subtotals: 14

MA
58 6
59 7
60 8

Subtotals: 21

The groups are already filtered in a Query. Subtotals adds the total
shipments for each group. What we're trying to do is display the
totals before the query filtering the groups was applied. So I created
a separate query displaying the sums for each group & linked them to
my main query & we have something like this now where
99=SumofHMShipments:

Group Shipments

HM
0 2
1 3
2 4
3 5

Subtotals: 99

MA
58 6
59 7
60 8

Subtotals: 99

The reason 99 is displayed twice is because when I add the sums for HM
its also displayed under MA. I have separate sum fields that I need to
be displayed under MA. Can anyone offer me help on how to do this?

I thought maybe if I could figure out how to filter the Grouping by
Company displaying only HM & place the fields for its totals in only
its footer section, then I could do another group & filter by MA &
have separate footer sections for it to put the totals in.

The end result should be:

Group Shipments

HM
0 2
1 3
2 4
3 5

Subtotals: 99(field from Query of SumofHMShipments)

MA
58 6
59 7
60 8

Subtotals: 88(Field from Query of SumofMAShipments)


I hope this all makes sense I tried to be as detailed as possible!
Please help!
 
You stated "So I created a separate query displaying the sums for each group
& linked them to my main query" but didn't provide any SQL views. This would
really help? Did you join your separate query to your main query on group?
 
Why do you have two SumOf...Shipments queries? I would expect this to be a
single group by/totals query that groups by the field containing the HM or MA
field and resulting in two records like:

HMMA NumOfShipments
===== ===========
HM 99
MA 88

Well I don't really work in SQL & I simplified my data on my question. What I
mean is on my final query, I joined my Shipments & group data table with a
separate sums table. This allowed for all of my information to be displayed
in one query so that I could import it into the Report. So it works kind of
like:

Query with Data:
Group Shipments
0 2
1 3
2 4
3 5
58 6
59 7
60 8

Sums Query:
99(field from Query of SumofHMShipments)
88(Field from Query of SumofMAShipments)

Final Query used for report:
Group Shipments SumsofHMShipments SumsofMAShipments
0 2 99
88
1 3 99
88
2 4 99
88
3 5 99
88
58 6 99 88
59 7 99 88
60 8 99 88

This query resulted in the following being displayed on the report:
Group Shipments

HM
0 2
1 3
2 4
3 5

Subtotals: 99

MA
58 6
59 7
60 8

Subtotals: 99

But my issue is not in the Query its in the report. All the data I need is in
the query & working fine. I just need help formatting my report to display it
correctly like this:

Group Shipments

HM
0 2
1 3
2 4
3 5

Subtotals: 99(field from Query of SumofHMShipments)

MA
58 6
59 7
60 8

Subtotals: 88(Field from Query of SumofMAShipments)

You've lost me... there is only one query that calculates the
sums(Sums Query). I've put that in the "Final Query" & Joined it with
the "Query with Data" to make the fields available for the report.
The only thing that displays in the report when I use one of the Sums
fields is "99" or "88" only once as I need it. But I need it to be
under it's specific group. Is there a reason why we keep going back to
my queries? Do you believe i could've created the data wrong?
Everything displays correctly in the Report. I just need a way to
separate the grouping of the company to use its own totals.
 
I think you should find the SQL views of your report record sources and paste
them into a reply.
