The Sql query that we used above SSRS example is:

SELECT Terry.SalesTerritoryGroup AS TerGroup,
	Prod.Color,
	SUM(Fact.SalesAmount) AS Sales
FROM DimProduct AS Prod 
   INNER JOIN FactInternetSales AS Fact 
      ON Prod.ProductKey = Fact.ProductKey 
   INNER JOIN DimSalesTerritory AS Terry 
      ON Terry.[SalesTerritoryKey] = Fact.[SalesTerritoryKey] 
GROUP BY Terry.SalesTerritoryGroup, Prod.Color
