Can I use the select expert to determine the results shown using a value in a subreport or a shared variable?
 
Typcially the records on a linked subreport are determined by the sibreport liks nad the record selection formula of the main report.

What I really want to do is restrict the data displayed in the main report based on the results of a calculated field in the sub report. 3
 
Is this a linked or unlinked subreport? I think you have your main and subreports switched around. I do not believe this is possible. Software Training and Support for Macola, Crystal Reports and Goldmine

If the subreport is executed PRIOR to what you're displaying in the main report, then you can use shared variables to key off of.

dgillz brings up a valid point, you may want to reverse which report is the main report.
