I'm a rookie and learning a lot so a big thank you from Texas. I have an issue. I followed your dataview video and made a small dataformwebpart similar to what you had created. However my difference is that I created a column called Assigned and it is populated with our teammembers. I used this to group. I ran my calculations on my data and the overall sum data works great. However when I try to make a total within the employee grouping the result is a zero. I ALWAYS get 0 for count($nodeset/@Score). I've looked on the web and I've found others that have group by user, name, assigned, created by and the counts all return 0. Not sure why, but can you please off some friendly advice how to resolve. Looks sort of like this.

Any ideas why the other options (Sum, Average, etc.) don't appear? “Count” is the only option that appears when I click the lightning bolt.

I can get only the count value of the first grouped column and I don't "filter" this value by the second group field. Thanks Lorenzo. hi Laura,

This is the second video I watched from you. Very good information and I will definitely try in my SharePoint designer to resolve the join view DataView issue. Again, Thank you, Laura. Wo, nice.

I on the other hand would like to say a giant THANK YOU right back. This is one of those tips that is so badly needed, relatively easy to use, yet which so few end users would stumble onto. Just what keeps me coming back regularly. Armed with this tip I can finally start to use the Dataview web part in earnest across my sites. Thanks again!

I'm making a simple vacation report to track how many days have been used... So my calc column is NumOfDays and I'm taking [End Date]-[Start Date] for the calculation. I've tried a bunch of different things but can't seem to get this to total at all. It just show's a zero. Can you help me? Does this technique work with calculated columns?
