Subreport question
I have a report based on a file called ADDRESS BOOK. In that file there is a field for ID#, and another for CUSTOMER NAME.
That file is linked to a second file called CONTRACTS by the field called ID#, which appears in both files.
I've created a parameter that prompts the user to enter a specific ID#, and the report then returns data from ADDRESS BOOK that exists for that ID#. (That ID# only appears once in ADDRESS BOOK.) It also returns data from CONTRACTS for that ID#, which only appears once in CONTRACTS.
But a single CUSTOMER NAME (in CONTRACTS) can be associated with multiple ID#'s, with each of those ID#'s linking to a single record in CONTRACTS.
I want to create a subreport that lists all of the records in CONTRACTS that have the same CUSTOMER NAME as does the ID# that was selected by the parameter.
Any ideas how to accomplish this?
thanks, jon w
Hi Sukhrai & Ananth2009,
I tried both of your suggestions. Neither worked, but I re-read what I typed and found an error that may have caused that.
In my description above, I stated "But a single CUSTOMER NAME (in CONTRACTS) can be associated with multiple ID#s, with each of those ID#s linking to a single record in CONTRACTS."
But the file listed there should be ADDRESS BOOK, not CONTRACTS. There is no CUSTOMER NAME field in CONTRACTS.
So to re-phrase my problem:
1. A parameter prompts the user to select an ID# from ADDRESS BOOK (which is linked to CONTRACTS by the field called ID#). The user then sees various fields from a single record in each of those two files, and one of the fields from ADDRESS BOOK is CUSTOMER NAME.
2. Other records in CONTRACTS are held by the same customer, but the CUSTOMER NAME field is present only in ADDRESS BOOK. I want the subreport to use the CUSTOMER NAME that gets listed (from ADDRESS BOOK), and then list any records from CONTRACTS that has that same CUSTOMER NAME.
thx jon

Hello All,
I have a question on how to add the page header and page footer with in the subreport?Hi..
Go in sub report and create a formula like
Whilereadingrecords;
true
create a group on the above formula and go in Group expertOptionsand check Repeat Group header on each page option.
This group should be the first level group among all groups
This group will act as fake group header and fake page footer.

I have a report on liquor licensees that brings in zero to several values (extra license privileges) in a subreport. It works ok but I can't get a parameter/selection criteria to work. I can get it to select based on the parameters, but when I don't put in any parameters I don't get any records, and when I put in all the choices, I get them, but I don't get the records with no extra license privileges, i.e., no records in the subreport's table.
The report already has several parameters that don't draw from the subreport.
I tried using a left outer join.
I don't know if I have the subreport links right. Right now I'm back to the beginning, without that parameter. Will someone please help me?
Edited by: Lauri Malone on Aug 21, 2008 10:46 PMThen I see two options:
1. Conditionally suppress details section and here are the steps
- have subreport in Details A section and pass subreports results as shared variable to main report
- Conditionally suppress all other Details (B,C,D,.etc) sections based on shared variable
2. Switch main report and subreport
-Your current subreport could be a main report where based on parameters you can concatenate a list of records that you want to select.
- Your current main report could be added as a subreport in Report Footer and list of records passed as a parameter in subreport links
I am ready to explain details depending on which option you prefer -
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.

Controlling execution of subreport on main Report in ssrs 2008 R2
Controlling execution of subreport on main Report in ssrs
Hi,
Am using more than 100 subreports in my main report using ssrs 2008 R2.
And given conditional Visibility in sub reports based on the Parameter selection in main Report . But the performance is very very slow in main report.
While selecting single sub report executes in seconds. The same report in main report executes in hours.
According to my view,
All the Sub reports executes and finally conditional visibility is working. Can we Control executing sub reports?
Regards, Gayathri devi P.S. : Please click the 'Mark as Answer' button if a post solves your problem! :)Hi,
I think the time to render 100 report sure will be long time and the main report want to render those reports.
So first why you do not separate those report on many reports for different purpose.
second if this is a dashboard report you may use many matrix in the same report and the parameters passed by default or based on expression.
I really hope if you make your report as dashboard report, many matrix many parameters render it once. As I remember I think SSRS will try to execute your
DataSets in parallel which will reduce your waiting time.
I hope this is helpful.

Report with Subreport - Summary Table On First or Last Page
Post Author: andbort
CA Forum: General
All-
My apologies in advance for the long post. I would like to know if something can be done in a single report instead of having to spread it across two reports. I will use generic (Xtreme sample database) field names to explain my dilemma. I currently have the following report:
Main Report
Customer ID, Customer Name
Subreport
Order ID, Order Amount, Customer ID
Each Customer and its associated subreport are displayed on a separate page. So it looks like this:
(first page)
1 City Cyclists
100 $200 1
101 $5000 1
102 $350 1
(second page)
2 Pathfinders
103 $760 2
104 $20 2
(third page)
3 Bike-A-Holics Anonymous
105 $120 3
106 $270 3
107 $400 3
And so on. This report often has numerous customers (i.e. ~10 or more customers, thus ~10 or more pages). The business users would like to have a "summary" page at the beginning of the report. This summary page would be in basic tabular format, with one row per customer, but each row would contain values from the subreport. So the updated report would look like this:
(first page)
Customer ID Customer Name Most Recent Order Amount
1 City Cyclists $350
2 Pathfinders $20
3 Bike-A-Holics Anonymous $400
(second page)
1 City Cyclists
100 $200 1
101 $5000 1
102 $350 1
(third page)
2 Pathfinders
103 $760 2
104 $20 2
(fourth page)
3 Bike-A-Holics Anonymous
105 $120 3
106 $270 3
107 $400 3
Is this possible in Crystal Reports 10?
Additional Background: The application in question is ASP.Net 1.1 (Visual Studio 2003) which displays reports designed in Crystal Reports 10. The actual report displays customer records in the detail section Da. There are 5 subreports, one in each section Da, Db, Dc, Dd, and De. The summary page could be rendered either at the beginning of the report (e.g. report header) or at the end (e.g. report footer), but will ultimately need to contain Customer table field values, as well as field values from two of the five subreports. I am hoping that this requirement can be addressed in a single report, instead of having to spread it across two reports (each displayed in its own CrystaReportViewer control on the web page). I am assuming that a solution to the generic example above will be applicable to my specific report.
Thanks,

Hi,
If I understand you correctly, you could simply use a crosstab at the begginning of your report to summarize all customers. If you put it alone in its section you'll be able to specify that you want a page break after.
The remaining of the report should be a simple report where you group on your customer and the detail line showing a sale.
finally, if I was wrong above and you still need subreports, you can use a shared variable (or a parameter) to allow the main report to receive the total from the subreport.
Good luck! -
Need to call subreport by passing proper value
Hi

please let me know how to do this

vitthalHi vitthal,
According to your description, you want to execute a click event on the Sales Order, then it will open up another report which show the detail information correspond to the Sales Order. In Reporting Service, as Visakh suggested, we can add an action to jump
into another report with detail information to achieve your requirement. For more details, we can refer to the following steps (supposing there is field called Sales in the second report):
Create a parameter named Sales in the second report.
Add a filter as follows to the dataset:
Expression: [Sales] Operator: = Value:[@Sales]
Drag the related field to the design surface in the second report.
In the main report, right-click the cell contains [Sales_Order] field to open the Text Box Properties dialog box, select Action in the left pane.
Enable the Go to report action, and select the second report name in the drop-down list of Specify a report.
Add a parameter as follows to run the report.
Name: Sales Value: [Sales_Order]

Summary field of subreport used in main report formula calculation
I have a summary field in a subreport that I want to use in a calculation of a percentage using a second summary field in the main report as the denominator. How do I do this in a new formula?
Thank You Ian Waterman,...
Couple of questions:
Where you say "... in subreport
@ eval
whileprinting records;
shared number x:=your summary
Am I correct that this is to be a new formula created in the subreport design?
What should I put for the "x" in the formula?
Should the "your summary" be: "DistinctCount of Activated_Survey.Seq.Incident" which I have showing in the Report Footer of the subreport?
Where in the subreport should I place the formula? Can it be hidden?
Where you say "In subreport header..."
@reset
whileprintingrecords;
shared number x:=0
Am I correct that this is to be a new formula created in the subreport design?
What should I put for the "x" in the formula?
Where in the subreport should I place the formula? Can it also be hidden?
Where you say "In the main report in section after subreport..."
I have the subreport sitting up in the main Report Header as I only want the subreport summary field showing.
In the subreport, I have the Report Header and Details section hidden.
@calc
whileprintingrecords;
(shared number x / main report summary) * 100
Am I correct that this is to be a new formula in the main report?
However, what I need to have happen is that the main report summary field of: "Count of Answered_Survey.Seq.Incident" needs to be divided by the subreport summary field of "DistinctCount of Activated_Survey.Seq.Incident" * 100.
What do I modify in the formula?
Thanks. -
Export crystal report to excel with subreport
I have a report with two subreport, and the question is when I export the main report to excel ( data only ) there is no data in the excel file, but when I just export the subreport to excel ( data only ), the excel file shows all data correctly. Does anybody know a solution can resolve this problem? Thanks.
1. Add one more Report Footer by right clicking on the Report Footer and selecting insert section below
2. Put Subreport 1 in the Report Footer a i.e. RFa
3.Put Subreport 2 in the Report Footer b i.e. RFb
4.Export the report to Excel Data Only.
5. You should be able to see the data for both the subreports -
Multiple Column Report Question
Post Author: LCS213
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I'm creating a student transcript report that has multiple columns, and is three groups deep. The first two groups need to be in a columnar layout. However, I'd like the third group to contain a subreport that spans the width of the entire page.
Are there any options within Crystal XI to do this? I know in the Section Expert, i can format the detail level with multiple columns, and on the Layout tab, I can select "Format Groups with multiple columns". But that seems like it either formats ALL groups or NO groups. Am I mistaken? Is there a workaround I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue!Hi Dan,
According to your description, we are not clear about the “6 sections for each Additional task”. Do you mean six data records? If so, based on my understanding, there are three groups and eighteen records in your report. You want to make those records appear
on eighteen separated pages, right?
In Reporting Service, we can add a page break to groups within data regions to control the amount of information on each page. In your scenario, you should add page break to group “Sub task”, group “Additional Task” and details. As we tested in our environment,
add page break to these records, the report appears in eighteen pages. Please refer to steps below:
1.On Group Properties of Details1, choose “Between each instance of a group” option on Page Breaks page. Please refer to screenshot below:
Choose same option on Group Properties for group “Month” and “Name”.
2.Click drop-down button next to Column Groups, then choose Advanced Mode.
3.Click on Static under Row Groups, set RepeatOnNewPage as True in Tablix Member Properties.
4.Click Preview, the results before and after adding page break look like below:
If you still have any question, please post some detail information or screenshot about the report design you expect.

How to disable the link to subreports depending upon value
Hi,
We have a table in ssrs reports where we are showing failed, success and cancelled status. for come condition.
now for failed we are going to subreports as we are passing some parameter from parent report.
but for success and cancelled we don't want to go that subreport.(problem is its going to the subreport)
this status are coming in the same cell depending some condition.
any body has idea how to do it
simantaHi fanu987,
As per my understanding, there is a field includes three values: failed, success and cancelled. If the value of field is failed, you want to jump to the subreport when you click the field. Otherwise, it will not jump to the subreport. If that is the case,
we can use Go to URL action to achieve your goal. For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
1. In design mode, right-click the text box and open Text Box Properties dialog box.
2. Click Action in left pane, select Go to URL.
3. Click (fx) button, and type the expression like below:
=iif(Fields!FieldName.Value="failed ","http://ServerName/reportserver?/folderName/SubreportName","")
4. Right-click the subreport in the project, then click deploy to publish the report to report manager.
5. Right-click the master report in the project, then deploy the report to report manager. When you preview the report and click failed value, it will jump to the subreport.
If there is any question, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

SSRS : Performance related question
Hi Frineds,
I have below scenario
I have one master Driver report (rdl) which has 7 sub reports. I have put expression on the visibility of those reports.
well reports are running slow.
Example of one sub report:: in this i have one big rectangle, in that rectangle i have different regular stuff(tablix, textboxes and images).
Instead of 7 sub reports i can take 7 big rectangle and put the similar expressiion on the visibility of those big rectangles.
the benefit is, there will be only one report(the master driver report dont need to call any report).
The question is,
Will this new approach gives any performance benefit ???
Thanks In advance,
ParixitsinhHi Parixitsinh,
In Reporting Services, each subreport instance is a separate query execution and a separate report processing task. So there are some advantages and disadvantages of using subreports within performance issue. The details information is shown below:
Do use subreports when there are just a few subreport instances.
Do not use subreports inside a group when there are many group instances. For example, to display a list of both sales and returns for each customer, consider using drillthrough reports. Consider whether you can write the query to join the customer with
sales and returns and then group by the customer ID.
Do use subreports when the subreport uses a different data source than the main report. If performance is an issue, consider changing the dataset query in the main report by using one of the following mitigation strategies:
• Collect data in a data warehouse and use the data warehouse as a data source for a single dataset.
• Use SQL Server linked servers and write a query that retrieves data from multiple databases.
• Use the OPEN ROWSET capability to specify different databases.
For more information about the report performance, we can refer to the following document:

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.

I recommend to post this query to the [Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to the creation and design of Crystal Report documents. This includes topics such as database connectivity, parameters and parameter prompting, report formulas, record selection formulas, charting, sorting, grouping, totaling, printing, and exporting but also installation and registering.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.

Need to supress main report based on shared value comes from subreport
Hi,
I have a database that is used in both main report and subreport. On main report I have column a,b ,c, d,e,f to display in detail section, the subreport (column c, g,h etc) is also displayed on detail section, the link between main report and subreport is column a,b and a formula based on the value of c. So the link is within one database, some records link with other records and display both matching records on one line(especially column c shows one value in main report and another value in subreport). That's why I need subreport and I can display the report correctly.
Here is my question: if one record in main report couldn't find a match in subreport (subreport is blank), then I would like to show this record; if one record in main report does find a match in subreport, I don't want it to show(need to be supressed). I can define a shared variable to flag whether the subreport is blank or not, but this shared variable has to be placed under the section of subreport in main report and I don't know how to supress the upper detail section with subreport in it.
Any help would be appreciated!
HelenHi
In this case you need to insert the same sub report twise.
Example :
Detail a--Insert the sub report and go in sub report suppress all sections and using shared variables bring the value to main report.
Detail b -- based on detail a sub report suppress the main report records
Detail c-- Your actual sub report will display the values.
Note : use the same links for your detail 'a' sub report which you are using for detail 'c' sub report.
