Aggregate Function (Visual Studio Report Designer)

Returns a custom aggregate of the specified expression, as defined by the data provider.

Aggregate(Expression, Scope)

Expression

Scope
(String) The name of a data table, object, grouping, or data region that contains the report items to which to apply the aggregate function. If Scope is specified, the aggregate function applies to all data in the data source, grouping, or data region. All group expressions for the specified scope must contain simple field references. For more information about the Scope parameter, see Built-in Functions for Reports (Visual Studio Report Designer).

Return Type

All containing groups for the item that uses this function must have simple field references as their group expressions.
