Topic: Master & Sub-Report Selection Expert Posted: 05 Aug 2014 at 6:08am
Afternoon all,
I currently have a report setup with a number of subreports (mainly showing graphs for different aspects of the environment); all of which have a specified period to report (LastFullMonth).
Would it work/be more practical to remove the individual Date_Time conditions and manage it all through the master report 'Select Expert' tool?

no, it doesn't, and here's why.
a subreport goes out to the database and pulls its own dataset, it doesn't 'inherit' the dataset from the main report, so each subreport is managing its own data and would need the date to correct select the data to display.
Here's the proviso...
if you are pushing the data to the report, then you would only need to have the date in the subreport so that it could filter the data
Either way, the subreport is going to need a date so that it can correct filter the data to display.
