Filter Help Needed

Good Day to All,
Need some help with Filters in SQL Reporting 2000.
Have a table report setup with a DS going to a Store Proc. need to add a
filter that is a bit complex. Don't know which filter section I should be
putting this in but in all cases I've run into errors.
Basically when the data is brought back from my Store Proc, I need to filter
out the data according to the following:
IF CBalance < 0
THEN ((-1*TTLBalance) > ((-1*CBAlance)*0.25))
ELSE (TTLBalance > (CBalance*0.25))
I keep getting this error that the filter comparison fails and I should
check the data Types returned by the filter expression.
Please help...you might want to cast your fields as varchar in your query. This has
been the answer to many filter comparison problems I have had in the
past.

other then varchar / string like values. I wonder if this carried over into
the newer version.
Thanks again!!!
