I have the following fields in table A:

 GL_ID|GL_Name_VC|    Amount     |Period_TI|Year_SI|
===================================================
  1000|  Sales   |  -20,000.00   |  01     |  2005
===================================================
  1000|  Sales   |  -10,000.00   |  02     |  2005
===================================================
  1001|  Cost    |    5,000.00   |  01     |  2005
===================================================
  1001|  Cost    |    5,000.00   |  02     |  2005

the fields above have the following datatype:

 Fields        | Datatype                 
 ===================================
 GL_ID         | Integer            
 GL_Name_VC    | Variable Character
 Amount        | Integer
 Period_TI     | TinyInteger
 Year_SI       | SmallInteger

The above database is running on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and i would like to query
for a report that looks something as below:

Description    |   Period 01  |  Period 02 | Year to Date
=========================================================
Sales          |   20,000.00  |  10,000.00 |  30,000.00
Total Sales    |   20,000.00  |  10,000.00 |  30,000.00
    
Cost           |    5,000.00  |   5,000.00 |  10,000.00
Total Cost     |    5,000.00  |   5,000.00 |  10,000.00 
=========================================================
Profit         |   15,000.00  |   5,000.00 |  20,000.00

The above report would list 4 columns, with the last column being a calculated field as a sum of
Period01 + Period02 Amount, sorted by GL_ID and group under a summation row called
Total Sales & Total Cost.There would be a net amount appearing as Profit (Total Sales-Total Cost).

Guys, hope someone out there can help me with the sql command for the above report?

Can you clarify on what is the difference between sales and total sales / cost and totla cost.

[fdtoo]

The Total Sales is actually a summation of all sales made for a particular period,
vice-versa for Total Cost
