     Posted: 29 Oct 2010 at 11:04am
I have a report that uses the same subreport multiple times so that we can see the same type of data but over different date ranges (i.e.-MTD, Previous Month, Last 30 Days, YTD, etc.).  Right now I have a VERY basic subreport that I'm modifying every relevant field of each instance in the main report to show the data for the given time period.  I would like to have a single subreport that I can simply change the selection criteria without changing any of the report fields in case the managers end up wanting to see even more date ranges in the future.
 
Is there a way to use the selection criteria within other report fields directly?  Somehow convert it to a variable?
 
Possible?
 
Thanks.

are you askking can a paramter fromt he main report be used as a parameter in a subreport?

Make the main report param into a formula field. How depends on what type of field.
In the main report, link to the subreport using the formula field. Thsi creates th evalue as a param in the subreport which can then be used in that select statement
