I have a report that pulls in a number value from a subreport. Is it possible to use the subreport value in my main report?
 
Yes, if you create a formula in the subreport footer that shares the value:

whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar x := <your sub value here>;

Then in the main report, in a section below the one containing the subreport, e.g., in GHb if the sub is in GHa, use a formula like this:

whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar x;
x * {main.qty} //sample calculation
