I am a Crystal 2008 user. I have reports with Sub-reports. I need to export these reports in .csv format; however, my sub-report data will not appear on .csv reports. My understanding is that the only way to get my sub-report data to appear in my main report would be to create a "pass-through" formula.

 

Is this correct, and if so, how do I do this? Are there any nice step-by-step instructions or tutorials (written, oral, or video) on this topic os "passing through" that anyone could send? I know nothing on this process. Or, is it simple enough to explain via a response? The data fields that I need to carry over to my main report are:

PAY_STEP   -  This is a text field, with alpha and numeric data

PAY_RATE   -  This is a numeric field

@fMaxStep -   This is a text field that displays a text message  "EE is elig.."

My temp fix is that I export to pdf, then convert this to Excel, but the users of these reports want this done in fewer steps.

Thanks!!

 

Update: I think I am figuring this out, slowly. I also need to know how to pass a Date field from a Sub Report to the Main Report for a different report. I think 've figured out strings, and numbers, now I need dates.
