A formula field for datalists? Bad Idea?

R

Ok, here's my problem and I'm a first year webbie, so you'll have to
bear with me. I'm converting some Access reports over to a .NET
website. It's your typical Access cluster$#@$ (pardon my French). The
report is essentially a single row with 10 columns. Each column holds
data mostly independent of the other columns as shown here:

col1 --data is pulled from table "x"
col2 --data is pulled from table "y"
col3 --data is pulled from table "epsilon"

So when I was assigned this, I immediately thought of having a datalist
for each "column" and arranging them to look like a row. No problem.
However, a couple of the columns are formula fields that calculate the
difference between certain columns.

What's the best way to go about creating these "formula fields?" Use a
datalist and populate it in the code-behind? Use a label? Or is there
some other method I'm not considering?

Thanks!
