Functionality Like Pivot Chart

There is a view on our server that has fields for project name and then 25
months, each row contains the descriptive name and the forecasted budget in
each month. I need to create a chart showing the total budget for month and
a running total for the year to date. In Excel this is easy with a Pivot
Chart, how do I do this in SSRS 2005?

TIA
DeanDiscover the joy of the 'matrix control' or as I like to think of it:

A design time pivot table, but much less fun to use.

You just set the groups on the columns or rows. Simple. You can even have (right click menu) subtotals.

If you need to have 'other data' displayed, you will need to fiddle about with the Inscope, and create phantom groupings.
