Summary report w/over 90 summary elements

Question

Using CR XI Professional edition ..... What would be the best approach to provide a summary report with over 90 different database element summaries from a SQL Server database?  I've created one document with all of the categories to summarize and also have started creating subreports to summarize the related report sections.
Problem is, the data seems to get out of whack.  When I change selection criteria (only slightly) it can change a summary count in a whole other section.
Any ideas?
Thx.

There are 12 'sections' (A thru U ... obviously not including all letters) to the report
each section can have as few as 2 or as many as 25 summaries relating to that section's data/table source in the database.  In other words, section 'A' gets data from one table; section 'B' gets data from one or more tables ... and that's where it goes whacky. 
each of these sections has been already 'built' in the MS SQL Server database by the stored procedures and resides in temporary tables that, again, i can't access because of the error mentioned previously.  And because of this restriction, I am trying to recreate the SQL process in Crystal ... and it's giving me fits!
Here's a crude text of what the report looks like (exported from CR).  Each section's entries are labeled like  'B1', 'B2', etc.  The values at the end of the line represent the calculated (Running Total) value when the report is presented.
