Would someone please verify my logic in regards to a report problem

I have created a detail report and a summary report. The detail report
lists individual transactions by department and grouped by type.
The summary report shows only the department totals.

To create the summary report, I simply took the detail report and
made the detail lines invisible.  When running the report it looks
fine, just the way I want it to.

However, using the exact same where / order by clause,  the detail report
will occasionally give a different department total than the summary report.
For example, the reports show department totals for 15 departments.
On the detail report, 3 departments show a different total than on
the summary report.  Again the only difference between the two reports
is making the detail lines invisible.

Has any one experienced this and is it not a valid method to produce
a summary report by making detail lines invisible?

Thank you,
-Bob
