Previous() function not working with scope parameter.

This works:
=Previous(Fields!Jobs.Value)
The following variants get this error:
"The value expression for the textbox 'textbox17' has an incorrect number of
parameters for the function 'Previous'."
=Previous(Fields!Jobs.Value,"scope")
=Previous(Fields!Jobs.Value,Nothing,"scope",Nothing)

Previous(Expression, AggFunction, PreviousScope, AggScope)
Ideas'In this particular case, the documentation is ahead of its time. The MSDN
documentation describes the full implementation of the previous aggregate
function in a future release.
Currently, the previous aggregate only support the first argument.

(using previous()) group and comparing the current rows' group and taking
action on the original field I was testing with previous() with a few IIF()
statements. Did the trick...
Thanks
