Default Calculations in Access 2007 Reports

I am creating a P/L in Access 2007 reports and have brought over all of my data and grouped and sorted by types with sum totals. I now want to take these totals and subtract one from the other but not sure how to do that. Any suggestions. I am really new at Access 2007 and if you could be really specific that would help.

Default Calculations in Access 2007 Reports

Cheri,
It's not easy to tell you exactly what to do without having more
information. However, if you have 2 field -- let's call them "Cost" and
"Price" -- that you sum in a group footer. To get the difference of them
summed up, you would put a text box in the footer with the following control
source =Sum([Cost] - [Price]). Feel free to post back with more information
if this doesn't answer your question.
