Link subreport to the main report in Crystal

Hi expert,
I have a Crystal Report with a row that cointais a Total Field.
Is possible to add a hypertext link, that open a subreport with all the details?
Exaple: CardCode: C00001 Account Balance: 14120,50. If i click on the Total of account balance, i open a subreport (linked with the key). Is the same of drill down (perhaps), but I can't use drill down.
Anybody can help me??
Regards
Marco

Marco,
try the following:
make the report into the structure of:
Group: CardCode
In the group header delete your group name field, and add your subreport.
Right click on the subreport, and on format subreport.
On the subreport tab, there is an option: on demand subreport. Check that in.
After that you can define a formula ( for example your cardcode ) at On-demand Supreport Caption.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
D

List down all subreports in the main report

Hi All,
I am developing reports in Crystal XI R2. I am working on the listing all the subreport names in the main report. I tried to use Filename function but it is not showing any report name even in the subreport itself.
Is it possible with any work around? Please help.
Regard,
Ashish

Hi ashish
Do you mean you want to have a hyper link of all the subreports from the main report.
main report
subreports
link1
link2
link3
You can just do like this insert->subreport->select the report name and place it whereever you want. You can select many reports like this.
Is this answers your question?

Data Passing from a Subreport to the Main Report

Hello,I have been able to pass data from a subreport to a main report using shared variables. The Complete Reference: CR XI (p. 313) states that you should be able to now suppress the subreport to prevent it from showing on the main report, however this is not working. I want to get the data from the subreport and then further manipulate it in the main report, and I do not want the subreport shown on the main report. I tried suppressing/hiding the section where the subreport is placed as well as suppressing the subreport itself. The formula values on the main report become null when I do this though. Is it possible to keep the subreport off the main report?Thanks.

How to make a common parameter for two subreports in the main report.

Hi,
I have a crystal report which has 2 subreports in it. Both the subreports have the same code and I need to create a parameter for Project Cost in both the subreports for filtering the data.
When i create the same parameter in both the subreports, i see two parameters with same name on my prompt page while refreshing the report. however I just want 1 parameter on my prompt page and data should get filtered in both the reports.
Can anyone please suggest something, How can I do that? is there a way for sharing same parameter between two subreports?
Thanks!
Neha.

hi Neha,
here's how to do this:
1) create a new parameter with the same name on the main report
2) right click on your first subreport and choose Change Subreport Links
3) in the Field to Link To list drag over your new main report parameter
4) open the Subreport Parameter Field to Use select menu and choose your subreport parameter
5) repeat steps for the 2nd subreport
now you'll only get prompted once.
cheers,

Passing a variable from subreport to the main report

Hi guys, was unable to google this, so Im urning to you guys:
I was wondering whether it was possible to do this:
I have a subreport taking data from a table. In the main report, in the suppres condition of details section containing this subreport, I need to have a variable containing the total count of rows in that table. I know there are shared variables for that, but the problem is, that the variable in the condition is processed sooner than the one in the subreport.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks a lot

To Sharma:
Hi, unfortunately I can't. The subreport has its specific position in constallation with previous and following sections and must be right there.
To Raghavendra:
Hi, that was my first idea, but the problem is as I explained in my first message.
To both:
I have a table in subreport. This subreport is in main report positioned in details section "x". and I want to use that shared variable in the suppress condition of section "x". The problem is that the formula in suppress condition is processed sooner than the formula assigning a value to the shared numbervar inside the subreport.
and thats what im looking for - a workaround for that. btw im using CR 8.5
thanks again guys

Controlling Record Selection for Subreports from the Main Report

Post Author: Horizon57
CA Forum: Formula
Hello - I am generating a standard report template that will be applied to all of my accounts and I am connecting to an Access DB that has multiple tables. Each table corresponds to a single Subreport within my Mainreport and contains the data for all of the accounts. Essentially I would like to be able to write some logic in the Formula section of my Mainreport whereby I can control which account to run the report for based on the Account Name. I am having sucess with this method when I change the parameters of the formula in each subreport, but how do I modify my code to allow me to control this from the mainreport. An example of a formula is below. // Account AAA//{Subreport1.Account } = "AAA" and {Subreport2.Account } = "AAA" and {Subreport3.Account } = "AAA" and {Subreport4.Account } = "AAA"// Account BBB//{Subreport1.Account } = "BBB" and {Subreport2.Account } = "BBB" and {Subreport3.Account } = "BBB" and {Subreport4.Account } = "BBB"// Account CCC//{Subreport1.Account } = "CCC" and {Subreport2.Account } = "CCC" and {Subreport3.Account } = "CCC" and {Subreport4.Account } = "CCC" Essentially, I am looking to just uncomment the particular Account I would like to produce the report for and have that filter down to all the subreports. How do i Modify the logic? Is there a better way to approach this?

CA Forum: Formula
Thanks for all the responses..... Just to clarify, I am essentially trying to control the record selection of each subreport with a forumula in the mainreport. To this end I am trying to avoid having to modify the formula in each subreport to change accounts each time i need to run a set of reports. I am still not having any luck modifying the subreport links as mentioned above. The only way I have been able to control the data is with formulas in each subreport. If anyone has accomplished what I am attempting, could you post an actual formula from both the subreports and mainreport so I can try to mirror them. Also, if anyone can point me to an example where I can integrate a dialog box to automatically control the record selection (as mentioned above), that would be great. Thanks,Mike

After changing a subreport I loose data in the main report.

Hi All,
I have a main report that has two parameter fields and two subreports linked to the parameter fields. The two subreports access the database and work fine separately. When I add the two subreports to the main report it works fine. As soon as I make a change to a subreport it works fine standalone. But as soon as I update the main report (reimport subreport) the subreport no longer returns data to the main report. To get the report to work after a change to a subreport I have to delete the subreport from main and then add it back in again.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am using Crystal Reports 10 and I'm totally at my wits end. I've been working with Crystal for about 5 years and this is the first time I've seen this. Maybe I'm missing something small but I just can't seem to find the answer.
Thanks for any help,
Jim

Jim:
I usually edit my subreports from within the main report. I right click the subreport and then click edit subreport. This eliminates the need to reimport the subreport. I've done a lot of work with subreports and this always works for me.
I hope this is not too late and helps you out.

Subreports won't show when put inside a tablix in the main report

I have a main report containing 5 subreports. My ultimate goal is to have a header with an image in it to only show within 2 of the subreports. I'm trying to achieve this by using a tablix and putting all of my subreports into the tablix on the main report,
and putting the image into the header of the tablix and using a hide/show query based on subreport name.
The problem is that when I put the subreports into the tablix and upload it to CRM it won't display at all. If I remove the tablix the subreports will run and display perfectly. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here or an alternative if there is an easier
way to achieve what I want?
Thanks.

Hi Ssizz,
Per my understanding your are experiencing the issue with the subreport which added to the tablix not displayed after upload to the CRM, right?
I have tested on my local environment and try to reproduce your issue but failed.
The issue can be caused by many factors, could you please try to provided us more details information according to questions below, and we will be more effective to give an solution:
Did the issue occurred only when your upload the main report to CRM, and Is there any error message,such as "Subreport Could Not Be shown"?
Did you run to check all the subreports and the main report which include the tablix with the 5 subreports in both the designer and the CRM one by one? Did they all running with no error?
Did you have add any parameters in the subreport and the main report, if did, please check if all the parameters work fine in the designer.
You have mentioned that when you remove the tablix, the subreports will run perfectly, Is that mean you put the subreport outside the tablix and have a test then all works fine? in the designer or in the CRM?
Please also take reference to the solution of some possible factors:
1. If you got the error "Subreport Could Not Be shown" only in the CRM and all works fine in the designer, the issue can be caused by the relationship between parent report and sub report got disturbed and CRM doesn't able to link these sub reports.
From Reports section select the sub report and click on edit
Remove the value in Parent Report look up field
Map Parent Report again
Re-publish the reports. Below steps will help us in publishing the reports again
Open command prompt on CRM application server
Go to Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Tools folder
PublishReports.exe NameOfYourOrg
Ex: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Tools\PublishReports.exe mytestcrm
If the above setting still doesn't work, please try to delete both the subreport and main report in CRM and try to upload once again, If it possible, please first redesign the main report in designer.

2. Another alternative method is using an rectangle instead of the tablix to put the subreports, you can use this to see if the problem still exists.
Any problem, please feel free to ask.

Concatenate data in a Sub-report then copy in the Main report

Hello,
I'm using Crystal Report XI R2, I succeed to retrieve data as decribe in SAP Note 1212454 - How to Share Subreport Data with the Main Report
But when I hide section A, my values in section B are empty
So my answer is, how to retrieve dataset from the subreport group Footer Group concatenated and show it as a Header group data in the Main Report

I'm currently trying was is explained in:
1218324 - How to suppress a subreport but still evaluate and pass a shared variable
Symptom
In Crystal Reports (CR), subreports are frequently used to calculate and pass data to the main report. In many instances the business requirement is that the subreports not be visible to the end users. However, suppressing the subreport object or suppressing the section of the main report in which the subreport is located causes the shared variables to display incorrect data when passed to the main report.
How can you suppress a subreport but still pass a shared variable with the correct data?
Resolution
In Crystal Reports 9 and later, you can suppress a subreport but still pass a shared variable with the correct data to the main report by following the steps below:
In the Subreport
1. Remove all conditional suppression formatting formulas.
2. Delete all drawing objects such as boxes, lines, etc.
3. Suppress all remaining subreport objects such as database fields, formulas, etc.
4. For all sections that contain no objects, select the 'Suppress' option in the Section Expert.
5. For all sections that contain suppressed objects, select the 'Suppress Blank Section' option in the Section Expert.
In the Main Report
1. Select the 'Suppress Blank Subreport' option in the subreport Format Editor.
2. Remove all borders from the subreport object in the subreport 'Format Editor'.
3. Select the 'Suppress Blank Section' option in the 'Section Expert' for the section containing the subreport.
Background Information
When working with subreports, the 'Suppress Blank Section' option forces CR to evaluate the subreport contained within the section to determine if the final subreport output is blank. The 'Suppress' option allows CR to bypass the subreport completely, because the section is suppressed. By forcing Crystal Reports to evaluate the suppressed shared variable formulas in the subreport, the data can be correctly passed from the subreport to the main report even though the subreport is not visible to the end user.

Crystal 6.0 : How to hide the Page footer and Page Header of the Main Report on the Sub report.

Post Author: pranay
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi ,
I have a Main report and a Sub report . When a subreport spans across multiple pages , the page header and page footer of the main report gets displayed along with it . I want to hide the Page Footer and Page Header of the main report when a sub report is displayed . Is there any way it could be acheived in Crystal Report 6.0.

I am assuming you are talking about the JSControl dropdown menu navigation. The easiest way to hide Community pages is to disable the Below Banner View for that navigation scheme, although it also disables the Subcommunties, Related Communities and Go up to Parent Community links. If you still want these in below the banner menu you could not display Community Pages in the "In this Community" tab and only leave the "Community Members and Knowledge Directly" link in there.
You would think that it would be better to remove the "In this Community" tab althogether but it is tricky to remove it due to the fact that there needs to be a default horizontal menu displayed all the time. Not all Communities will have a Subcommunities or Related Communities tab so these communities would not display any below banner menus at all if there is no "In this Community" tab, which could be confusing.

Refreshing subreport data on change of group in the main report

I have created three comma delimited strings in a subreports and then introduced them to the main report. The subreports are simple with no groups. I have one subreport for Authors, one for Departments and one for Schools. This is ok if I filter the data down to one publication. If I remove the filter then I get every instance of each of the subreports. ie all authors in a comma delimited string, all departments and all schools.
I have two groups in the main report, Publication Year (Group #1) and Publication Title (Group #2). This is where I have the problem. The data coming from the subreports show all instances as mentioned above. I want the subreports data to refresh each time the group changes. I need it to only show the necessary comma delimited string for each publication, not every instance.

Hi Abhilash,
The logic has worked correctly but the performance is really poor. Is this because I have there subreports doing similar funcitons? Is this a topic for another discussion?
Also, when I try to export the report to xls data only it starts the export but then a msg comes up on the screen relating to the second formula you gave me for comma delimited strings for schools:
SAP Crystal Reports
String length is less than 0 or not an integer.
This relates to the third line in the code:
Left(schools, len(schools)-2);
It then aborts the export. Is this a topic for another discussion also?
Thanks

How to develp a subreport in the same page of the main report and processed when is called

SSRS 2012
Hi guys,
I am developing a report that includes a subreport.
therefore The report is made up by 2 sections:
1) Show a grid (several rows - may be 100 or more - and some columns). It represent high level info (Each row represent a specific item)
2) The user click on a Row/column (eg: Item1, to see details that must be shown as graph.
Here the problem: Searching info about SSRS reporting for subreports, drilldown, nested report and so on, no ones accomplish the requirements for the following reasons:
1) Subreports: NOT open in the same page. The user must <go back> to see detail for other items, such as Item 2....
2) Nested and DrillDown: Process data as the Main report (they are hidden and displayed after user action). In my case this leads to performance problem, because: if the main report has 200 objects (it means 200 graphs processed and hidden at the same time
for the main reports).
3) DrillThrough and Subreport: The detail data are processed only when the user select the interested item in the main report. Here the problem: the report is shown externally.
Please, it there any possibility to have a subreport (or anything else) to be executed in the same report as the main report and processed only when the user make action?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Fasttrack2,
According to your description, there is a main report with more than 100 rows of summary information, when users click the item of the row, the report need to jump to detail information shows as graph. The problem you are facing is that you are not sure
subreport, drilldown or drillthrough report should be used? You hope to set display detail information in the main report and keep high performance of report.
In Reporting Services, each subreport instance is a separate query execution and a separate report processing task. Subreports are recommended when there are just a few subreport instances. We should not use subreports inside a group when there are many
group instances, instead, consider using drillthrough reports. Drilldown reports process all data even when the data is first hidden. In order to improve the performance of the report, we can split drilldown reports into parameterized drillthrough reports,
because Drillthrough reports do not run until a user clicks the drillthrough link in the main report.
In this case, we can consider using drilldown or drillthrough report. In drilldown report, when we click a plus or minus button to expand or collapse a section of a report, the detail data will be displayed in place. By using drillthrough report, when we
click the link in the main report, the detail data will be displayed, we can come back to the main report by click return button in the drillthrough report.
