SSRS Report - Group Totals are Zero when Group Row Hidden

Question

I have a report with one group called Counties. This group has a filter.
I added code to produce the totals for Prior, Current and DistinctCount:
Public Shared Dim grandTotal1 as Decimal = 0
Public Shared Dim CountyTotal1 as Decimal = 0
Public Function AddTotal1(ByVal b AS Decimal) AS Decimal
grandTotal1 = grandTotal1 + b
CountyTotal1 = CountyTotal1  + b
return b
End Function
Public Function GetCountyTotal1()
Dim ret as Decimal = CountyTotal1
CountyTotal1 = 0
return ret
End Function
Public Function GetGrandTotal1()
Dim ret as Decimal = grandTotal1
grandTotal1= 0
return ret
End Function
Public Shared Dim grandTotal2 as Decimal = 0
Public Shared Dim CountyTotal2 as Decimal = 0
Public Function AddTotal2(ByVal b AS Decimal) AS Decimal
grandTotal2 = grandTotal2 + b
CountyTotal2 = CountyTotal2  + b
return b
End Function
Public Function GetCountyTotal2()
Dim ret as Decimal = CountyTotal2
CountyTotal2 = 0
return ret
End Function
Public Function GetGrandTotal2()
Dim ret as Decimal = grandTotal2
grandTotal2= 0
return ret
End Function
Public Shared Dim grandTotal3 as Decimal = 0
Public Shared Dim CountyTotal3 as Decimal = 0
Public Function AddTotal3(ByVal b AS Decimal) AS Decimal
grandTotal3 = grandTotal3 + b
CountyTotal3 = CountyTotal3  + b
return b
End Function
Public Function GetCountyTotal3()
Dim ret as Decimal = CountyTotal3
CountyTotal3 = 0
  return ret
End Function
When it runs, it gives me this:
This works fine. But now I need to hide the details on the counties. I just need the line with the 15, 32 and the 9.
I highlighted the group row, right clicked -> Row Visibility and changed it to Hide. But when I do this, my results are three zeros.
I am at a loss now on how to just show the totals. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try?

Hi cpemtp1,
Per my understanding that you just want to get the total display in the report and hidden the details, right?
I have tested on my local environment and suggest you to create an new dataset and using the query below to get the Total of every country and then you can using the SUM() function to sum the total of all the country which meet the  conditions.
Detail information below for your reference:
Create an new dataset and using the query below to get the sum of every country meet the filter condition:
Select a.PRIORYEAR,a.CUREENTYEAR ,a.Country from (select SUM(PRIORYEAR) as P1,SUM(CUREENTYEAR) as C1,Country
from TableName
group by Country) a
where a.P1<=a.C1
Create an new tablix under the button of the existing Tablix or you can just remove the old tablix as below
Original Table:
New designed total:
If you still have nay problem, please feel free to ask.
