     Posted: 13 Dec 2010 at 6:47am
Hi ALL
 
I have a reoport with five level of grouping.At fifth group there is a sub report which is bringing the count of records of the group 5 table.column in other table.
 
Since i need a sum of the count of the sub report value at group 3, i created a shared variable in to capture the value.
 
Now in group 3 i am getting the sum of the count but i am also getting unwanted rows in group 5 , if i supress the sub report does not run, if i dont then it does not bring the count.
 
Do you have any solution for this.I can explain you more if you want.

try putting the subreport in its own band.  I think it still executes if the band is suppressed.

If it is suppressed it won't run at all.
If I recall, the trick is to place it on its own section (above where you need the value)
suppress all of the fields in the subreport
then suppress the section it is on (in the main report) as 'Suppress blank section'
this way it still runs but does not appear on the report.

that sounds right...I remember being in a section by itself, but I thought I could suppress it...but I am probably wrong.  I don't use subreports much, much less needing to run them invisible.
 
Sorry, bands and sections ... Bands is what another reporting tool uses as its 'Sections'
