SUM problem in SSRS 2005 report

Question

I don't know how best to explain this but will try.
In my SSRS 2005 report, i have one group in my table.  In that group, I have a field that for each company record in my dataset, this field value is repeated for each record. This is a transactions table so you'd expect several records in the dataset for each company..that's not the problem.
example data from dataset:
TransID     CompanyID      FeeGoal
1                1000                  100
2                1000                  100
3                1000                  100
4                2000                   400
5                2000                   400
My SSRS 2005 Report has:
Group1 fields:
CompanyID                                       FeeGoal
=Fields!CustomerNumber.Value        =Fields!FeeGoal.Value
The output when previewed looks like this:
Company   FeeGoal
1000               100
2000               400
Footer            209409730.83 (totals up all feegoals!  not just unique instances!)
I have a footer, and this is where the problem comes in.  I am not able to sum 100 + 400 because if I do a SUM(=Fields!FeeGoal.Value) It doesn't just sume up 100 + 400 but rather (100 + 100 + 100) + (400 + 400)
I can't find a way to sum up basically the top values for FeeGoal which is really what the Group Field is doing since I get 100 and 400 in my group field for feeGoal.  I should end up with a total of 500 for my footer total for Fee Goal but not sure how to get this to work in this unique situation.
FYI: FeeGoal is an input from an ASP.NET form to allow managers to update that one column in my report so that other calculations can rely on it in my group fields.  Once the user finishes, I run a stored proc to insert that fee goal in every customer transaction record / feegoal field
I guess is there a way to do some sort of Distinct SUM in an expression? I also tried:
=SUM((Max(Fields!FeeGoal_AZ.Value)) / Fields!FeeSchedule.Value) * 100)
but you can't have an aggregate function like this, I get this error:
[rsAggregateofAggregate] The Value expression for the textbox 'GrossGoal_gt' contains an aggregate function (or RunningValue or RowNumber functions) in the argument to another aggregate function (or RunningValue). Aggregate functions cannot be nested inside other aggregate functions.

Hi,
I need to generate a SSRS 2005 report like bellow:
OrderNumber    MultiInvoice    SalesAmt        
TaxAmt          TotalAmt
301256              1                     
302                   20                  322
369856                                    
 501                   10                  511
359826                                    
456                    1                    457
785412              2                    
725                    25                  750
totalRow=4      totalRow=2      Sum=1984        Sum=56          
Sum=2040 ----------------------->Footer
--I added textbox in ther footer of that report table, and try to add expression for each, like
1>OrderNumber : =CountRows()
2>MultiInvoice :  =Count(column name) //but it is return no of rows,
where it should be only 2.
How can do that?
3>SalesAmt : =
SUM(Fields!SalesAmt.Value)   //It is not returning actual summation of all rows for
SalesAmt
 column. How can I do that?
