sql server reporting services: I'm having problems implementing the following in reporting services 2005.

My hierarchy looks like this (just to illustrate the problem...):

University->Student->Exam

My query returns the following fields:

University, Student, StudentPayment, ExamName, ExamScore

I need to create a report that will show the hierarchy and to smartly
aggregate the StudentPayment to both the Student and the University levels.

The problem is that the StudentPayment field is being multiplied by the
number of exams in the upper level aggregation.

If only I could set the granularity level of the StudentPayment measurement...

Note that I don't have access to the query, so I can't change anything on
that front.

Thanks,

Efi

Hello Efi,

I would like to know this more detailed.

How you calculated the StudentPayment?

Did you mean that you use a constant like $10 to multiplied by the count
amount of the exams the student takes?

If you have used a group for each level of University and Student, you
could have a aggregation expression like this:

AVG(Fields!StudentPayment, 'Group_name')

You could refer this article.

Hope this will be helpful.
