How to group by date

I have the following fields in table A: GL_ID|GL_Name_VC| Amount |Period_TI|Year_SI|
===================================================
1000| Software| 2,000.00 | 01 | 2005
===================================================
1000| Software| 2,000.00 | 01 | 2005
===================================================
1000| Software| 5,000.00 | 02 | 2005
===================================================
1000| Software| 5,000.00 | 02 | 2005
==================================================
1001| Hardware| 10,000.00 | 02 | 2005
the fields above have the following datatype: Fields | Datatype
===================================
GL_ID | Integer
GL_Name_VC | Variable Character
Amount | Integer
Period_TI | TinyInteger
Year_SI | SmallInteger The above database is running on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and i would like to query
for a report that looks something as below: Description | Hardware | Software | Total
====================================================
Opening Balance | 0.00 | 4,000.00 | 4,000.00
Period 02 | 10,000.00 | 10,000.00 |20,000.00
====================================================
Closing Balance | 10,000.00 | 14,000.00 |24,000.00
The above report has 4 columns, with 1st & last column being a calculated field.
Notice that the Opening Balance description is a sum of all amount under period 01,
with software having a total Opening Balance of 4,000.00 (2,000.00 + 2,000.00).
The amount for both Hardware & software are group by period 02, and a Closing Balance
is derived by adding the sum of Period 01 & Period 02.Total column is a summation of
both Hardware & Software amount. Guys, hope someone out there can help me with the sql command for the above report?
