Creating a tabular report comparing two measures based on accounts

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to create a simple GL report but i'm getting stuck. Using BIP with OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
What i have is some GL data: debit amount (De), credit amount (Cr) and account number (acc). I would like to create a simple tabular report, comparing debit and credit transactions based on accounts, like this:
___________LabelA____________LabelB______________ LabelC_______________ Difference(LabelA - LabelB - LabelC)
Label1___Cr if acc=760___De if acc=400 and 401___De if acc like 30_____________________Calculated value (A-B-C)
Label2___Cr if acc=750___De if acc=410,411,412___De if acc between 31 and 35__________Calculated value (A-B-C)
Total (SUM) for A, B, C and Diff
Sample XML file:
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<Acc>760</Acc>
<Debit>7.8248741841E8</Debit>
<Credit>8.9404379158E8</Credit>

<ROW>
<Acc>350</Acc>
<Debit>1.4682048826E8</Debit>
<Credit>1.4682048826E8</Credit>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
Is that possible? I would appreciate any tips.
Thank you,

Hi Luis,
According to your description, you create a Reporting Services report using Analysis Service Tabular Model as the datasource, now what you want is sum the months value on year level, right?
In your scenario, you can add the Month field to column group, add a parent group using Year Field and then add a Total on Month group. In this case, Reporting Services will sum the months value on Year level. I have tested it on my local environment, the
screenshot below is for you reference.
Reference:Lesson 6: Adding Grouping and Totals (Reporting Services)
If this is not what you want, please describe your dataset structure, so that we can make further analysis.
