Count Invisible ReportItems in Page Footer?

I have a textbox in my page footer with an expression like this: Sum(iif(
(ReportItems!textbox56.Value = "Complete"),1,0)). Basically it counts how
many times "Complete" comes up in a page. I also have a parameter which can
filter out any "Complete" values using the visibility of the detail row. My
problem is that I still want a count of the Complete values, even if they are
filtered out on the page. When I run the report with no filters, it shows me
exactly how many Completes there are per page. However, it will not count
the Completes when they are filtered out by page. How can I get the page
footer to count them even when they are hidden?Sorry, this is not supported in RS 2000. The good news is that this will
change in RS 2005 and conditionally (expression-based) hidden items won't be
taken into account in page header/footer calculations.

Make custom dll which has a method which takes filter expression as input
and connects to same datasource using ado.net and fetches the same records.
Then calculate no of "complete"s in table and return the value to report.
Please see using custom assemblies in Reporting Services. Its very powerful!

COUNT Expression Values

Hello,

I am trying to create totals of the different values of a certain expression in the Report Footer. Currently I have the expression in a group which gives me a running subtotal of the 4 different values of the expression. Now I need 4 running Totals of the 4 different value subtotals. I tried placing some code in the Report Properties but I had a hard time trying to code visual basic within the editor.

Any info is helpful.

I answered my own question. I didn't need any coding. It was basically creating new fields and applying the calculations to the new created fields.
