Hello Tek-Tips'ers
I am working on three tables that contain employee information.
I have joined table1 (demographics, all employees table) to table2(where employees are working) via outer left join because I want a full list of employees and site if any.
Also, I need to join table3 (training record table) with outer left join to find out who was not trained yet.
Report works find with inner joins; however, if I add table3 with outer join then it is not working properly.
is it normal?
I have two solutions for that:
1st - create a sub report with training table and join via ID parameter.
2nd - Create a shared variable. The problem: shared variable disappears if I hide or suppress Group Header1.
If i keep it inhidden, shared report takes a lot of space and displays info that is not required.
I must be missing somthing. How can I use shared variable and have my report well presented.
Please advise
