    <p>Can anyone tell me how do I get the Max of a calculated field? Below is an image of my situation:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/pHcpy.jpg" alt="Table Structure"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/oTV8r.png" alt="Grouping Pic"></p> <p>Note that Flag is of type <code>int</code>.</p> <p>I want to write the expression in the image , but when I use it, it kinda does:</p> <pre><code>Sum(Sum(Fields!Flag.value)) </code></pre> <p>Can anyone help me out on this. I think I need to add scope for the <code>Sum(Flag)</code> but when I add the group scope as EMPID as:</p> <pre><code>=iif(SUM(Fields!Flag.value,"Fields!EmpID.Value")&gt;2,"RED",nothing) </code></pre> <p>It throws me an error saying something about the scope.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>I need attendance of each employees. FLAG is basically 1 if absent and 0 if anything else.</p> <p>The bottom row(Flag,Date,Status,Comment). Now I have an alert There:</p> <pre><code>=iif(Fields!Flag.Value=1,"RED",Nothing) </code></pre> <p>Beside the Textbox(Textbox62) in middle row(EmpID,EmpName) I did Expression:SUM(Flag) and in the Fill section in Text Box Properties i have done:</p> <pre><code>=iif(SUM(Fields!Flag.value,"Fields!EmpID.Value")&gt;2,"RED",nothing) </code></pre> <p>So the above expression creates an alert if employee is absent more than 3 days.</p> <p>The top most row(Department,Manager) can be drilled down for to see more detailed view of the report. Now my problem is, in the column (FLAG) i need to create a Background color change if any employee in a particular department is absent more than 3 days.so that we do not have to drill down all the departments in order see if any employee is absent or not. So my approach was to see the Max(Sum(Flag))>2 then create color change. I tried:</p> <pre><code>=iif(MAX(Sum(Fields!Flag.Value))&gt;2,"Red",Nothing) </code></pre> <p>It does not work at the Department level as it basically considers (SUM(Sum(Flag))).</p> <p>Thanks................</p>

    1. CO*"an error saying something about the scope"*... well, what was that "something", and what did you do with it? :)

    2. COThe value expression for the 'TextBox62' has a scope parameter that is not valid for an aggregate function. It says that the scope parameter must be set to a string constant that is equal to either the name of a containing group or name of a dataset or name of a containing data region.

    3. COWhat that error means is that you need to use the name of either a GROUP, DATASET or DATA REGION as the scope. You have used the name of a field in the dataset. Can you explain a bit more about what you are trying to achieve - do you want the max value for ALL employees, or for each Manager or Department?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
