    Posted: 06 Feb 2014 at 4:58am
Hello,
   I have create a report with many subreports. I wanted to pass a date field date from one Sub-report to another sub-report rather than to the main report. Is this possible to pass from one subreport to another subreport?

Thanks for your help!

shared variables are available to this. just declare them where you need them, and all the values should be the same.

declaration is easy:
shared datetimevar variablename;

remember assigning to a variable is done using the := operator and checking equality is =.

Is it possible to filter main report based on a formula from subreport?
I have a subreport which has a shared variable formula which calculated actual time - estimated time
i want to see only data if the calculated formula is +/- > 2.50 hrs.
When i try to use the formula in the main report, i get an error saying "This formula cannot be used because it must be evaluated later."

no, a subreport is run after the main report has selected its data. You, could have the subreport run prior to a group or a detail and could then be used to suppress the display of the data in the main report, but you couldn't use a subreport to filter the main report.
