Parameter in sub report

Hi,
How can I transfer data from sub-report to the main report with the parameter. For example, Total field in sub report should be transferred to Total1 in the main report

Passing Multivalued parameter to sub report in SSRS

Hi Team,
I tried passing multi valued parameter to sub report in SSRS but the report is blank.
Rgds,
Shree

Hi Shree,
As per my understanding, the issue is caused by the multiple-value parameters are not passed from the main report to the subreport correctly. Please refer to the steps below to check whether you configure the subreport parameter settings correctly:
Drag a Subreport control from toolbox to design surface.
Right-click the Subreport to open the Subreport Properties dialog box, then select the correct report as subreport.
Click Parameters in the left pane.
Add parameters as below (Parameter1 is a single-value parameter, Parameter2 is a multi-value parameter in subreport ):
Name: Parameter1 Value: [@ReportParameter1]
Name: Parameter2 Value: =Split(join(Parameters!ReportParameter2.Value,","),",")
Please also directly select or type the same values in subreport to check whether the subreport works well with those parameter values.
Thanks,

Passing database command parameter to sub-report

I'm trying to pass a runtime parameter from a main report to a database command parameter in a sub-report, and having some trouble.
My main report has parameter fields (Vendor, Manufacturer, etc) that the user selects at runtime - the result set includes Item Code - that part is working fine. Where I'm having trouble is with linking to the sub-report. My sub-report has a stored command that takes a parameter (ItemCode) and counts the number of times it's shown up on an invoice. When I created the command, it asked for a value for the parameter, and won't accept a blank entry. Now, whenever I try to run the main report, it asks for the ItemCode parameter for the sub-report - which kind of defeats the purpose. I've tried linking from ?Pm-OITM.ItemCode in the main report, but the Subreport Links window doesn't show the Command parameter to link to.
How do I take a field from the main report and pass it to a sub-report to be used as a parameter in a stored database command?
I'm running CR 2008, and SAP B1 2007 PL 42 on MS SQL 2005, and I'm still pretty new at CR, so details help.
Thanks.

Go to change subreport links and add Item Code from main report and then you can see the sureport stored procedure parameter in the Subreport parameters list, select the parameter and do not select any field from subreport.
You will be able to see the stored procedure parameter in the list only when the Item Code and the parameter are of same data type.

Passing Parameter to sub report from detail section of Main report

I am new to CR
I am developing a CR for Clinical Lab Test. My main report have four field i.e
1. Test Code
2. Test Name
3. Result Value
4. Normal Values
This report has sub report in Page Footer. When TestCode = 18 or 19 It has to show a normal value table in Page footer of that page. Other wise this table should not appear on page footer.
Please help me

Hi Qasim,
Go in Section Expert and select the page footer. You will find Suppress in right side of the window, go in formula editor and give the follwoing formula :

Pass multi value parameter to sub report in Drill through report, ssrs

I have two reports 1 is subreport and other is main report. Date Field are placed in both reports. i have groups in main report,
one group is task. In the task fields one persons is working in 3 project, two project are same company and 1 is for other and it give me count for each project. I
want when i click on link it send multivalue parameter to subreport and it just show matching records.
Asif Mehmood

As I understand what you need is to use LookupSet function.
Suppose if your dataset is like this (for simplicity I'm showing only required fields)
PersonID Project Company
ID1 P1 C1
ID1 P2 C1
ID1 P3 C2
ID1 P4 C2
ID1 P5 C3
If you want to get the full project list for the person just send the PersonID alone and filter using it in the subreport. You can keep the project/company parameters optional in that case and put a default value. This would be the easiest thing.
Now if you want pass the project parameter also you need to pass it like this
=Join(LookupSet(Fields!Person.Value,Fields!Person.Value,Fields!Project.Value,"DatasetName"),",")
This would act like a self lookup and return you full list of projects for the person and then you can use this to set the parameter value in the subreport.

Crystal Report Viewer - Sub Reports

Hi Everyone,
I'm working with Crystal Reports(V13.0.7) Windows form viewer in VS2012(VB.Net). I have a sub report which is causing problems. I have set the link to the Main report parameter and Sub report. I have a total of 43 parameters getting passed(Main and Sub Reports including). While setting the ReportSource in code, I find that there are 43 parameter fields passed. But i constantly get an error "The parameter is incorrect". An important thing to note is that- Whenever i debug the code, the report gets displayed but it is not so when in release mode. Can anyone help me in this regard. I'm totally frustrated and its been weeks and i haven't solved the issue yet. I have attached the files below (FrmViewer - Used to add and set report source for Main and sub reports) and (Display-AR-REPORT( ) - for passing main report and sub report parameters). The AR.Rpt report

Hi Sastry,
Firstly, thanks for replying to my post. I have checked all the parameters passed, did some changes(Had extra 0's after decimal point), but still no change. The same old Error. As i have mentioned before, Whenever i debug the code, the report gets displayed but it is not so when in release mode. The file (Original Report.png)image is a Perfect report. The report file (MyReport.png)shown below is my report.

How to activate a different sub-report for each row in the data set as main report page breaks on each row of data in the main dataset

I am going to try asking this same question a different way as I have yet to find a working solution to my problem. I have a main report and then 8 sub reports. My main report has one data set and returns one row of data per account number. One
of the fields in the main data set is called AccountProf. My main report displays one page per Account number and then calls a different sub report based on that account's AccountProf value. The sub reports take in the account number as a parameter
and get multiple rows of data to display that accounts usage formatted differntly for each AccountProf (hence the 8 different sub report.
So far I can figure out how to do everything but setting the visibility property of each sub-reports when I have multiple accounts. If I use the following expression for the visibility property on each sub report, it makes all the applicable sub report
for all the accounts requested visible at once:
=IIF(Fields!AccountProf.Value= "USE_PLUS_DMD",False,True)
*The value in bold USE_PLUS_DMD is different for each sub report.
Here is a look at what the main report look like:
Here is the main reports data set:

Hi JasonDWilson77,
According to your description, there is a main report and 8 sub reports in the report, you want to set visibility of sub reports, if no value is passed to the parameter of sub report, the sub report will not be displayed. If that is the case, please refer
to the following steps:
1. Create a new parameter named NewAccountNumber, set its data type the same as @AccountNumber, select Allow multiple values, set Visibility to be hidden, then set all available values to default values.
2. Right-click the first sub report and open Subreport Properties dialog box, click Parameters in left pane, set name to AccountNumber, then click (fx) button, type the expression like below:
=Parameters! NewAccountNumber(0)
3. Click Visibility in left pane, select Show or hide based on an expression, then click (fx) button and type the expression like below:
=IIF(InStr(Join(Parameters! AccountNumber.Value), Parameters!NewAccountNumber.Value(0))>0 , false,true)
4. Modify parameter of other sub reports like step2.
5. Set visibility of other sub reports like step3.

Passing Parameter from Main report to SQL command-based subreport

I am trying to cut down the run time of my reports and have recently figured out how to write SQL commands to limit the data by filtering prior to being pulled into the reports. However, many of my reports rely on multiple sub reports, which can cause a dramatic 'drag' on the report.
I am trying to filter the SQL command used in my sub report by passing the group parameter, which is selected by the user in the main report, to the sub report's SQL command. Without this parameter, the sub report has to sort through a lot more data than it would with this parameter, making the run time extremely slow.
Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this?
Thanks for any help you can provide,

Hi Marlene,
I don't believe you can pass a CR parameter to a Command object.
I suggest replacing all of the Command Objects with a Stored Procedure so all of the data filtering is done server side. DB servers are much more proficient at collecting the data and filtering than CR will ever be. It will also allow you to replace subreports to also speed up your report processing. All depends on your layout of course but something to look at.
Thank you

Adding formula in sub report

Hi,
I am passing an product_id to subreport database table. I want to use this id in a sql like below and the result name i want to print on the report. How is this possible.
select NAME from active where id in (select a_id from prod_act where id =@product_id)
I also have the prod_name from prod_act table on the report.
Thanks in advance

Hi
Create a parameter with ID in your main report and In your sub report add command create a parameter and use that in your where clause like in your example. Now go in main report and right click on sub report and click on change sub report clinks and link your main report parameter with sub report parameter.
Now it will take your main report parameter value to sub report parameter.
Tthanks,

Binding Sub Report based on link clicked in main report in BIDS

Is it possible to bind Sub Report based on the link clicked in main report which is the parameter for sub report in BIDS?

Hi Thanuja534,
If I understand correctly, you want to add a drillthough action on a report to jump into another report with a specified parameter.
A report can contain links to other reports. The report that opens when we click the link in the main report is known as a drillthrough report. Drillthrough reports are a type of report that we access by clicking a link in the current report. When we click
a text box that has a drillthrough action, we open the drillthrough report. If the drillthrough report has parameters, we must pass parameter values to each report parameter.
Besides, drillthrough reports must exist on the same report server as the main report, but they can be in different folders. We can add a drillthrough link to any item that has an Action property, such as a text box, an image, or data points on a chart.
For more information about adding parameters to pass to a Drillthrough Report, please see:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337477(v=sql.105).aspx

Display different footer in main report of SSRS based on sub report

I have a main report in which there are two sub reports and then those two sub reports each contain one sub-subreport.
The following will give you an idea
Main Report
----->Sub Report 1
------------>Sub Sub Report 1
----->Sub Report 2
------------>Sub Sub Report 1
I am trying to display name of subreport in footer of main report depending on which subreport user is currently in. So let's say if user is viewing Sub Report 1 then it should display in footer of main report "Sub Report 1" (this is actually coming
from database and is not like displaying some static text but for the time being ignore this)
If user is viewing Sub Sub Report 1 then footer of main report should say "Sub Report 1: Sub Sub Report 1"
After searching a bit I found out that:
1. Sub report footer will not be shown in Main report hence this option is ruled out
2. You cannot pass parameter from sub report to main report so this option is also ruled out
But looks like you can use Shared Variables between Sub Report and Main Report. I tried to do this but looks like it doesn't work. Here's what I did:
In my Sub Report 1, I declared a shared variable as below:
Public Shared Dim sharedVariable as String = "Sub Report 1"
Now in my Main Report I wrote the following function in code just to test if it prints it on screen on not.
Public Function PrintSharedVariable() as String
Return sharedVariable
End Function
But when I run this report, it shows error that sharedVariable is not declared in Main Report. How do I use shared variables and will it work in my case?

Hi Frank,
According to your description, you want to show the subreport name in the main report. Right?
In Reporting Services, all the custom code is only work for the current report. The sharedVariable you created in subreport can't be used in main report. That's the reason why it throws the error because there's no sharedVariable in main report. For your
requirement, the most effective workaround is having a textbox with go to report Action and passing the report name as parameter back to main report.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Sub report parameter prompt appears when running Visual Studio 2008 with Crystal Reports 2008

Post Author: relliott
CA Forum: .NET
If I build a simple Crystal Report that contains another simple Crystal Sub Report, the report will print preview fine in Crystal 2008. The problem happens when add this report to a Visual Studio 2008 Web Application Project and I build and debug the application, the Crystal Viewer is prompting the user for the parameter used to link the sub report to the main report. This should never happen as the user is not supposed to see this parameter. If I type in some value for this sub-report parameter prompt, the Crystal Report Viewer gives an error message about not finding the field.
I was having the same problem in Vs2005 with Crystal 10 which is why I upgraded. Business Object's official fix for this problem was published under their KB article number c2018840 and c2019047. These hot fixes ended up causing general exception errors in Visual Studio so I scrapped these solutions.
Support had me install SP0 for Crystal 2008 (which did not fix it).
Any ideas?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Bontrager,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
According to your description, I agree with pvdg42's suggestion, so I suggest you can try pvdg42's suggestion to install the version of
Crystal Reports 10.5 to check this issue again.
Reference:
http://forums.asp.net/t/1236730.aspx?Which+CR+version+is+in+Visual+Studio+2008+
In addition, since this forum is

Crystal Report Viewer 11.5 Java SDK - How to set sub report parameter value

Good day!
I have a report with 3 sub-reports in the detail section. Main report has two parameters and each sub-report has one parameter in turn. We have our own JSP to receive parameter values from the user. I am using the following code to do the parameter value setting later into the report. Parameter value setting works for main report, but not for the sub-report.
I get an Error, for the first sub-report, from the viewer saying:
The parameter 'parametername' does not allow null values
On this article: [article link|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap%28bd1lbizjptawmq==%29/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313337333233323331%7D.do]
It says to set the report name of the parameter field to the name of the sub report. On this aspect, assuming this tip/solution works, I would like to read the names of the sub-reports and their parameter names. I do not want to hard-code them into our application.
Here is my current code:
sdk.occa.report.data.Fields parameterFields = new Fields();
I have a HashMap of <parameterName, parameterValue>
Iterate through the map
report.data.ParameterField aParameterField = new ParameterField();
aParameterField.setReportName(""); //main report
report.data.Values theValues = new Values();
ParameterFieldDiscreteValue aParameterFieldDiscreteValue = new ParameterFieldDiscreteValue();
aParameterFieldDiscreteValue.setValue (aValue);
theValues.add(aParameterFieldDiscreteValue);
aParameterField.setName(parameterName)
aParameterField.setCurrentValues(theValues);
parameterFields.add(aParameterField);
viewer.setParameterFields(parameterFields);
Please look at the line:
aParameterField.setReportName(""); //main report
Here's where I would like to say
if (parameter is subreport's parameter) then setReportName(subreport name);
Thx

It was little difficult to navigate down the objects to find the sub reports and their parameters. I am attaching the code:

Sub report linking definition based on result, not on parameter value

Dear all,
I have created a report with CR 2008 SP6. The parameters from the referring BI query are period and customer. After the user enter parameter values, the report provides then Customer and product information.
I have add a sub report with additional information for product. I can transfer the parameter value (user input) for Customer to the sub report, but not for product, due to the fact that in the main report Product is not selected as parameter, but is a result set after the report is executed.
Is there a way to define in the Sub report linking exactly these result values of Product as new parameter for the sub report.
In the sub report linking definition I only see the possibility of defining the parameter as linking object, but not the report result set. See also the screenshot.
Any idea would be great. Best regards,
Stefanos from Munich/Germany

Hi Stefanos,
Where is the Subreport placed on the report?
Do you have a prompt in the Subreport for 'product'?
If yes, then here's open the 'Change Subreport Links' window > Move the Product field to the Pane on the right > From the drop down at the bottom left that says 'Subreport parameter field to use', choose the Product prompt.
If you don't have a prompt for product in the Subreport, then just move the Product field to the Pane on the right > From the drop down at the bottom right that says 'Select data in Subreport based on field', choose the Product field from the drop-down.
