I have the following fields in table A:

Code:
 GL_ID|GL_Name_VC|    Amount     |Period_TI|Year_SI|
===================================================
  1000|  Sales_HW|  -20,000.00   |  01     |  2005
===================================================
  1000|  Sales_SW|  -10,000.00   |  01     |  2005
===================================================
  1001|  Cost_HW |    5,000.00   |  01     |  2005
===================================================
  1001|  Cost_SW |    5,000.00   |  01     |  2005
the fields above have the following datatype:

Code:
 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:

Code:
Sales Category  |   Sales   |  Cost  |  Profit 
=================================================
     HW         |-20,000.00 |5,000.00| -15,000.00
     SW         |-10,000.00 |5,000.00|  -5,000.00
=================================================
    Total       |-30,000.00 |10,000.00|-20,000.00
The above report have 4 columns, with last column being a calculated field (Sales-Cost)

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