I am using 2008 and have been assigned a complex report for accounting.  I do not know what the best way is to create this report.  Maybe someone can help me.
 
The report is to go like this:
 
Revenues
   Fees
      Fees - Adv (select acct# 1 for this)  - show summary
      Fees - Desig (select acct# 2 for this) - show summary
      Fees - Int (select acct# 3 for this) - show summary
 
         Nuts (select acct# 4 for this) - show summary
         Nuts Agency (select acct# 5 for this) - show summary
      Fees Nuts - sum of Nuts and Nuts Agency
 
      Fees - SO (select acct# 6 for this) - show summary
      Fees - ST (select acct#10 for this) - show summary
      Fees Waived (select acct# 11 for this) - show summary
      Fees - Xferd (select acct# 36 and 12 for this) - show summary
         Fee Charges - sum of Fees section
   Other Fees
      Charges - Other 3rd Party (select acct# 15-20, 22) - show summary
      Charges - Ops (select acct# 23) - show summary
         Other Fees - sum of Other fees section
 
Total Revenues (= Fees section total + Other Fees section total)
 
 
This is just a partial list.I have 11 pages of group, then accounts within each group with corresponding totals - depends when specified for subtotals within main groups.
 
I am calling "Revenues" a main group, while Fees are just one section of Revenues.  Within Fees, there is a little subtotal separated from the rest of the group, yet it is in the middle of the section for desired report layout.  This is, "Nuts".  The section is then continued , then, at the end of the group, "Revenues", there is a total line.
The next main group would be something like, Expenses.
 
This is very confusing to me, so I gave the first part as an example of the desired output.  Each line is to have summaries of each column for the specified account(s) for that line.  Also, each line shows a summary of:  Prior Year Actual, Current Year Annual Budget, Current Year YTD Budget, Current Year YTD Actual, etc..
 
I am not sure how to go about creating this report to get the desired results.

Hi
 
Before creating this kind of reports, you need to understand the table structure /  view or stored procedure.
 
How you want to get previous year Actural balance in to your report ?  Is this available in current year table or you need to access previous year tables and get it.
 
Which table field can give Revenues / Expenses bifurcation ?
 
 
 
 
Thanks,
Sastry
