Need summary rows in a query, but how?

I have ORDERS which contain a number of ITEMS. Both are stored as rows in a
single table, tblOrders.
I would like to make a query that returns a list of items, then a total for
the order as a whole. Something like...
ORDER ID PART ID NAME QUANTITY PRICE NET
1000 1 widget 10 10 100
1000 2 gazeeza 5 5 25
125 < summary row
It appears this is the idea behind CUBE or ROLLUP, but as is typical, the
documentation on this is useless. Does anyone have any examples of how to
actually use this and get the output the way you want?
It appears you have to use GROUP BY for this sort of thing, and this brings
up another question. In the examples above, I want the grouping for the
summary to work only on the ORDER ID. However, as far as I can tell, in order
to get any output at all you need to list every column in the GROUP BY. This
kind of defeats the purpose in this case.
Any pointers?

That is not the result of a query. It's a report. It usually makes more
sense to use tools like reporting services for this kind of thing.
To do it in SQL you won't need CUBE/ROLLUP. UNION is probably more
appropriate:
SELECT order_id, tot, part_id, name, quantity, price, net
FROM
(SELECT 0 AS tot, order_id, part_id, name, quantity, price, net
FROM tbl_orders
UNION ALL
SELECT 1, order_id, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, SUM(net)
FROM tbl_orders
GROUP BY order_id) AS T
ORDER BY order_id, tot, part_id ;
Apparently your Order table is very denormalized. I hope and expect that you
are aware of that.
Hope this helps.

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content

Need scope for RowNumber( ) function

HI ...

I have a detailed report ..with summary lines and detailed lines (drill down).

I have a column with a function "RowNumber(Nothing)" which is supposed to just count the rows

when I put this in the summary row for the column I need in the Design Layout section and run the report, I get numbers on the summary lines which include the number of rows in the level below (detailed rows).

I just want to number the summary rows sequentially without taking into consideration, the number of detailed rows.

How do I modify RowNumber(Nothing) to exclude counting the detailed rows....?

Any help will be much appreciated...thanks

To the folks who might face this problem

I found the solution myself .....here it goes...just use this in the row you want to rumber (summary or detailed)

=RunningValue(Fields!FieldNumber1.Value,CountDistinct,Nothing)

|||

This was exactly what I was looking for thank you very much, you have been a great help|||

Excellent!! Thank you, I have looked every where for this......
