Pass sub report fields to another sub report?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3332999

Question

I have a pretty complex report. I have managed to create it up till the 1st sub report. Now I have to summarize the 1st sub report's fields inside a 2nd subreport 'horizontally'.

1) How do I pass the fields from sub report 1 to sub report 2 (Name & totals) & list them horizontally/each year?

2) How do I get each summary to show in a way like (Client1, Year1...YearN). If I am inserting a section for the second sub report it shows the 2nd sub report right after (Client1,Year1). I set page after in section expert but its not in order I wanted :|

I want to show this section after (client1,Year1-------YearN)

Report is designed in a way like

Main Report
   ---- 
       Sub Report 1
          Group (Client 1 Year 1)
          --------------------------------
          Name  Amount   TotalAmount
          --------------------------------
          John  1,000     300,000,000
          End of Page 
          ----------------------------------
          (Client 1 Year 2)
          --------------------------------
          Name  Amount   TotalAmount
          --------------------------------
          John  5,000     400,000,000 
          End of Page 
          ----------------------------------

          Group (Client 2 Year 1)
          --------------------------------
          Name  Amount   TotalAmount
          --------------------------------
          Stevens  1,000     10,000,000
          End of Page 
          ----------------------------------
          (Client 2 Year 2)
          --------------------------------
          Name  Amount   TotalAmount
          --------------------------------
          Stevens  2,000     40,000 
          End of Page 
         ----------------------------------
       End Sub Report 1
  -----
       Sub Report 2
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
    Name      TotalAmount        TotalAmount .......   TotalAmount
  ----------------------------------------------------------------- 
    John     Year1(TotalAmount) Year2(TotalAmount).... YearnN(TotalAmount)
    Stevens  Year1(TotalAmount) Year2(TotalAmount).... YearnN(TotalAmount) 

 End Sub Report 2

Solution

If possible, I recommend moving the sub-report data out of the sub-report into the main report, and putting a cross-tab into the report footer.

OTHER TIPS

How do I pass the fields from sub report 1 to sub report 2?

Use Global var. Define the var in the main report as global and update in the subreport1 and access them in subreport2.
