InScope function Error

Its a well know bug in MSRS which is resolved now. It comes when we use SP2 in SQL server.

SYMPTOMS:

In Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, you create a report that contains a matrix data region. You use the InScope function in an expression of a static column or of a subtotal column. When you display the report, the InScope function returns incorrect data.

For example, you add a group that is named GroupA to the matrix data region. You add a static column or a subtotal column to the GroupA group. Then, you specify the following expression for the BackgroundColor property of the static column or of the subtotal column:

=IIF(InScope("GroupA"), "Red", "Blue")

When you display the report, you can notice that the background color is incorrect.
