Sums by header value in report

Hello all, I have a tricky summing problem for my report. It has the
fields Department, Priority, Category, Course, CountofEmployees, and
SumofCosts. It lists courses taken in each department, each with the
number of employees per class and total cost of sending that number of
employees to class. It is ordered first by Department, then by
Priority, then by Category, and it has to stay this way. I need sums
at the bottom of the whole report for each of the priorities, 1, 2,
and 3. Is there a way to say "sum all where priority=1" for a text
box control source or something?
This is very important, and anyone's help would be greatly appreciated!

Try this in a textbox if Priority is a number field --
Sum(IIF([Priority] = 1, 1, 0))

Use this in a textbox if Priority is a text field --
Sum(IIF([Priority] = "1", 1, 0))

Repeat for priority 2 in another textbox.

Thanks, Karl, for responding!
I wasn't clear about what I needed I think. I need the sum of the
costs for each priority, and the sum of the number of employees. So
what I need to sum for priorities 1, 2, and 3 is SumofCosts and
CountofEmployees. They are fields in the query on which the report is
based. Your advice did give me the sum of class occurences for each
priority, which is almost what I need.

Try using this ---
Sum(IIF([Priority] = 1, [SumofCosts], 0))

Thanks, Karl! That works great! Just out of curiousity, is the way
that works like so:
=Sum(IIF(Criteria, value to summed for each record, don't know
what this is for)) ?

Thanks again for your help, it came just in time!

IIF(Criteria, what to present if criteria test true, what to present
if criteria test false)
