Alternate solutions for subreport within a subreport

[Former Member]

Hi,

There is a master report say R1. R1 needs a subreport R2 which has a graph as a subreport(R3). As the idea of subreport having another subreport is not supported in the Crystal reports, we need an alternate solution for the problem. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Try inserting R2 and R3 subreports in Main report R1 separately. If you chart is placed in report footer or in report header then this would help you by placing chart subreport first if it is in report header or place chart subreport after R2 if it is in report footer.

I hope this would help you!

You cannot place a sub-report within a sub-report......so if you are trying to put a report that has a chart in a subreport......into another report you'll automatically lose the initial sub-report containing the chart.

Another option is to use a hyperlink in the sub-report that will take one to the third report....

can you be a bit clearer, are you stating that you have a main report which has a sub report currently and you need another subreport to display the graph from subreport that already is embeded in the main?

you can place a sub in a sub, but you can create more that one sub.

if you only want the data from the sub to use within a graph in the main rpt than i would pass shared variables from the main to the sub and use them in a graph(if you can)
