Sub Report Calculations

[plextor]

Is it possible to use the values returned by a sub report to calculate values returned from the main report. If so, how?

Thanks,
Brian

If you create them as shared variables in the subreport, you can also declare them and then reference them in calculations in the main report, although the calculation formula must be placed in a section of the main report somewhere below the one containing the subreport.

Thanks again,

In your sub report (obviously change to suit your needs)

WhilePrintingRecords;
Shared NumberVar YourVariableName := Whatever

Then in your main report

WhilePrintingRecords;
Shared NumberVar YourVariableName
