Subreport data use to group Values in Main Report

Hello,
I create a Subreport in my header to calculate values, the formula is based on a specific sorting and comparison of previous values.
In my main report I need to Group my values depending on the result. Because the group I will made on the Main Report can't be the same sorting of the SubReport.
SUB-REPORT
1 Paris (result "Capital")
2 Lille (result "Same Country of Paris")
3 Lyon (result "Same Country of Paris")
4 London (result "Capital")
5 Manchester ("Same Country of London")
MAIN-REPORT
Group
- CAPITAL (Paris, London)
- Same Country of London (Manchester)
- Same Country of Paris (Lille, Lyon)
My issue, is that I don't know how to group values on MainReport based on a formula Result of the SubReport
OR, may be there is a way to search on value in the sub-report ?

You can't use a shared variable to group on from a sub report in the main report since a shared variable evaluation time is done whileprintingrecords.
Try using a SQL expression to return the same result as the subreport would. You can then group on the SQL expression

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

Sub report group tree in main report Using crystal report 12

Hi experts,
    I have a strange requirement like, same data needs to be grouped two different ways in a same report. Like
Store1:
    Summary of sales on each item chart
Store2:
    Summary of sales on each item chart
.....it goes like this
Department1(multiple stores)
      summary of sale on each item chart - store1
      summary of sale on each item chart - store2
     --........ it goes
Department2
      summary of sale on each item chart - store3
--........ it goes
   Its in single report, the first part is grouped only with store and in second part the store is under department. How to do this in same report?
    I achieved this by creating a sub report to display the first part of data and in the main report sup report data plus the second part of data will be displayed. And its working well but now the problem is the group tree, I'm not able to see the sub report group tree in the main report.
   How to get the sub report group tree in the main report, Or is there any other better way is there so i can get both the data as well the group tree. Please help me to solve this. CryCryCry
I'm using crystal report 2008(installed separately) with Visual Studio2008 (.Net3.5)
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
    Yea both data source are same(Datasource is SQL Stored Procedure). I cant use like that, because my client needs the group tree also. In case if there is no group tree, we can create one more group and supress it conditionaly. But here the problem is there is no way to suppress any of the group item in group tree as we can do it in the detail section.
    So please me with some different ways and also , please clarrify the following doubts
1. Can we supress one or more items in the group tree.
2. Can we get the sub report group tree in main report(Everything is working when i used the sub reports except the group tree). So I'm trying for different ways to do, but none is helping me
Please help me

Getting error Data record has grouping value "" in

Hi,
I assume the following system situation exists:
The new Infotypeframework NITF is inactive for PA30. Flag CCURE PC UI is activated in T77SO. You are using ESS based on Web Dynpro which uses the new Infotypeframework.
Here we have to differentiate between infotypes which are participating in the data sharing functionality and all other infotypes. Such as:
Infotypes without Data Sharing:
          - Infotype checks     => module pool
          - Infotype update     => SAPFP50P/SAPUP50R
Infotypes with Data Sharing:
          - Infotype checks     => module pool
          - Infotype update     => NITF
ATTENTION:
BAdI HRPAD00INFTY is not processed in this case (importing parameter NEW_IMAGE is always space). Instead the BAdI HRPAD00INFTYDB of the NITF is been processed.
The following notes (1 and 2) will solve the problem. Note 3) solves an involving problem caused during the deletion process of a personnel number.
1) 783499 - Incorrect framework synchronization
2) 845592 - Incorrect framework synchronization - Retroactive accounting
3) 844998 - PU00: Termination when deleting a personnel number
Hope this will help!

How to use the region parameter of main report for subreport chart titles?

I am using Crystal Reports 11.
I create 1 main report with 10 sub-reports that contain cross-tabs & charts. The main report has a parameter regarding 3 different areas: region1, region2, and region3.
I use the method of adding the u2018regionu2019 parameter of main report to the selection formula of the sub-reports. So, I can select 'region' from main report to controll outputs in sub-reports by region.
I use formulas for chart titles, e.g.:
Select {Product Code}
Case 'a111':
u2018Region1 u2013 a111 Counts'
Case u2018b222u2019:
u2018Region1 u2013 b222 Counts'
u2026
u2026
Default:
u2026
Since I pass the u2018regionu2019 parameter of main report to sub-reports, I have to change chart titles dynamically based on the region I select.
How can I use the region parameter from main report in the formulas to get chart titles dynamically?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you.
I am not using Chart Title with "Chart Expert".
I am using a formula for chart titles, e.g.:
Select {Product Code}
Case 'a111':
u2018Region1 u2013 a111 Counts'
Case u2018b222u2019:
u2018Region1 u2013 b222 Counts'
u2026
u2026
Default:
u2026
I drag this formula above the charts and it looks like a dynamic title. So, for product a111, the chart title would be "Region1 u2013 a111 Counts"; for product b222, the chart title would be "Region1 u2013 b222" Counts; and so on ...
Because I pass the region parameter from master report to subreport, I want to change the region part of the chart titles dynamically.
For example,
when select Region1, the chart titles should be: "Region1 u2013 a111 Counts"; "Region1 u2013 b222"; ...
when select Region2, the chart titles should be: "Region2 u2013 a111 Counts"; "Region2 u2013 b222"; ...
I want to add the region parameter into the tiltle formula.
How should I do?

Passing values from main report to sub-reports

- How do we pass values from main report to sub-report?

Look at this link which shows how to pass values from a subreport to a main report.
http://www.datamanagementgroup.com/resources/trainerstalk/trainerstalk_howto_share_subreport_data_with_main_report.asp
You can use the same method to pass values from main report to a subreport.
1) Create a formula @mainFormula in the main report, as given in item 1 of link.
2) Place this formulla in a suppressed report footer section above the target subreport.
3) In the subreport, create a formula @subFormula that declares the same variable name, as given in item 3 of link.
4) Place @subFormula column in the subreport where you want to display it.

Dynamically Set Subreport Background Color to the Same Value as Main Report Background Color

I have a report that contains a subreport. The main report has groupings in it. I am dynamically setting the background color of the group rows based on an expression. That part is working fine. The problem that I am having is that
I don't know how to get the subreport to "inherit" the background color of the grouping that holds it.
Basically, I have different row shadings on my report differentiating the groupings except for the rows where the subreport shows.
How do I go about setting the subreport background color to equal it's contaiing grouping's background color? Thanks in advance for any and all assistance provided.

The parameter method given by gpshukla will send the info to the subreport, but you don't need the color parameter in the main report, only the subreport. The trick is in setting the value of that parameter.
Right-click the cell with the embedded subreport, you can select subreport properties.
Select Parameters and add a parameter.
The name column is the name of the parameter in the subreport (color) and value is the value to set it to.
Set name to "color" (no quotes).
Set Value to the same expression used to set the background color for the row.
In the subreport, click the design surface to select the report (not header or footer).
In the properties pane, select background color and choose expression from the dropdown.
Type =Parameters!color.Value into the expression builder.
This will work assuming that background color in the main report row will not change without also refreshing the subreport.

Linking Subreports based on group in the main report

Hello,
I have a main report that groups by department, month, and then employee name. I put a subreport in at the month and name level (it brings back statistics for a particular employee for the chosen month). The subreport is based on a completely different set of data. I want the subreport to pull just the data for the individual month and employee into that employees monthly section. How do I link the subreport? It seems like it should be pretty straightforward, but I can't get it to work. Do I need to set up groups in the subreport? I am a beginner and appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Al

How I would do it is as follows
Create a Formula Field and choose the group name e.g.
GroupName ({migsol_oppact.COMPANY})
Then link the sub report using that Formula Field

How To Suppress Records In Subreport Based on Value in Main Report

I want to supress records in the Details section of my subreport based on a value in the Details of my Main report (main report could have same record as subreport).
I created the following formula with a shared variable and placed it in the Details section of my main report:
WhilePrintingRecords;
Shared StringVar sCertCode :={ACCPASCERT.CERT_CODE}
I placed the subeport in the Group Footer of the Main Report.
In the subreport, in the Section Expert I added the following formula for Supress of the Details section:
WhilePrintingRecords;
Shared StringVar sCertCode;
sCertCode = {ACCJBCERTS.PERS_CODE}
Unfortunately even though the value in the main report is the same as the value in the subreport, those records are not being suppressed in the subreport.
Would appreciate any ideas.
Thanks.

Thanks Zilla.
The group is not based on Cert_Code but on another database field.
I can try linking on the Cert_Code. But, how do you make the link "<" ">" when linking the main report and the subreport. I don't see that as an option?

Dear Dom,
   I created the subreport table called IIM (748 items) in sql in the main report as you suggested with the below code:
SELECT "IIM"."IPROD", "IIM"."IDESC", "IIM"."IID"
FROM   "S102F360"."BPCS405CDF"."IIM" "IIM"
WHERE   NOT ("IIM"."IDESC" LIKE 'GEN%' OR "IIM"."IDESC" LIKE 'OBS%') AND "IIM"."IID"<>'IZ' AND "IIM"."IPROD" LIKE '3%'

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.

How to pass Presentation Variable Value from Main Report to Detail Report

Hello,
I've 2 reports that is attached to each other. In my main report i've several report prompts and i am using i"s prompted" on my detail report to attach them.
But 2 of my report prompts are presentation variables(Names : FIRST, SECOND). Both are in date format. I've a filter in my main report like;
"ASSIGNMENTS_F"."EFFECTIVE_START_DATE" BETWEEN @{FIRST} AND {SECOND}
It works fine when i run the main report. But when i click on the numbers, i see that i can not filter my detail report with the chosen values for 2 presentation variables. It just shows all the dates.
I've tried adding both presentation variables in both reports as columns and adding 'is prompted' filter to them. But did not work either.
I just cant pass the written values for presentation variable prompts to detail report..
Please help :)

Hi,
What you can try is refer the filte condition in the main report to the detailed report with the option--> Filter based on another request.
Or you try creating another intermediate report which will refer the main report filters and pass the filters to the detailed report.
Hope this helps.

Using Select List value for building report

I have an interactive report form. I have a "After Header" (LOAD) process that run sql commands that will populate a table with the data that the report needs for a given week.
I have a Select List item that is run as a "Before Header" that gets a list of dates from a table. The dates only contain the first day of the week for the past two years. It is called "WEEK_OF" table and the column is called "WEEK_OF_DATE".
The default value for the Select List is the first day of the current week. And then all of the first day of the week from the WEEK_OF table.
I would like the LOAD process to use the value in the Select List. So at start up I would like the List to show the current week and report to begin with data from the current week.
So I have tried to use the variable :WEEK_OF_DATE (Item name) as the beginning date for the report. However :WEEK_OF_DATE is null.
Also, after I have the report displayed, I would like to select a new date from the list and have the report automatically refresh with that new data.
Any Ideas what I am doing wrong?

Hi Lyle,
When setting a default value for a select list that is to be used to filter a report, I have found it best to do that using a computation, conditional on the item being NULL and running Before Header. If other computations rely on this value, then it should have the lowest sequence number to ensure that the value is available for those.

To display subreport page header when included in the main report

Hi,
I am designing a report using SSRS 2005.The main report has a few subreports.Each subreport has header which serve as page and table header for the report content.When the subreport is run individually there is no problem where header is
getting displayed for each page but when main report is executed only subreport body content is displayed.Can someone please suggest if there is any workaround for displaying sub report header
My subreport looks as shown in the image below.

Place your Header contents at top of the body and footer contents at bottom of the body. Remove Header and footer from your subreport.
