Better way to solve my RS problem...

Hello all,
I have a sales table with the following columns:
Product
Date
Price
SalesAmount
Quantity
I need to write a report in Rs that has the following information:
Products sold in a month and during the year...
Currently I use a sub report with different date parameters ie date between
1/1/04 and 1/1/05 for The year sold data, and Date = @.Month for the month
sales.
However, sub-reports seem to slow the report down significantly. Is there a
better way to do this using only one report?
Thanks,
ClintTake a look at the [Employee Sales Summary.rdl] sample report that ships
with the product.

However, I need one table, this solution seems to require multiple
tables/charts.
Any other way?

summarize by year,month. Then in Report Services you adding a grouping for
year and a grouping for month. You want the month grouping to be hidden and
based on the year. Then if they click on the year it expands and you get the
month. If the group header for the year you put in a sum expression for the
year total shows in the heading. Hope that makes sense you you.

Reporting Services, is good example of using drilldown.
