Topic: Pass shared Variable to Main report thru subreport Posted: 29 Oct 2012 at 1:30pm |
Hi,
In my Main report I have a summary table like this,It is grouped by FC then by Class.There is a Avg.Rev col however I get the data from a subreport as I need to use that field to calculate days for that particular class in that FC
Class-A Avg.Rev-A Charges Days
Medicare(FC-A)
I subrep dat 1000 1000/Avg.Rev-A
O subrep dat 2000 2000/Avg.Rev-A
ED subrep dat 5000 5000/Avg.Rev-A
Total subrep dat 8000 8000/Avg.Rev-A
Here is what my subreport data look like
FC Class Charges
Medicare I 50
Medicare I 150
Medicare I 100
Medicare O 250
Medicare O 150
Medicare ED 200
Medicare ED 500
Medicare ED 200
I did group by FC then by Class to get avg. rev
FC-B Class-B Rev-B
Medicare
I 100
O 200
ED 300
Total 600
My initial plan is to create a shared variable in sub-report to get Avg.Rev-A field in main report however I am not sure how to pass a shared variable from sub-report to main report. can you please look into ,if there is any other way please let me know.
Thanks,

just reference the same variable in both places and it is 'passed' in subreport shared numbervar aValue; aValue := ?? //will set the variable in the main report shared numbevar aValue; aValue //will display the variable. nothing else to do. typically all of this is done in a formula, one in the subreport and the other in the main.

I Created shared variables exactly what you said in main report and report however I encounter a problem when I ran a report.As i Said before in my main report I grouped by FC then by Class.
In my subreport also I did the same grouping....and I put shared var in group 2 footer to get totals for Class.
Then I put my subreport in Group1 header of main report and I linked main report to subreport thru FC and Class.When I gave like this I am only getting 1stsubreport group2 values to main report for all class groups in main report group2 for that particular FC.
I removed class link and only put FC linkage to subreport.When I gave link like this I am only getting Last subreport group2 values to main report for all class groups in main report group2 for that particular FC.
I am not sure how to do the linkage to get the proper values for main report group2.
I believe I am missing a link please help!!!
Thanks,

if you are running the subreport in group header 1, and you want it to change in group 2, it won't. the subreport only runs 1 time, when group header 1 is displayed. if you want it to run for each group 2, you should move it to group header 2 and link it correctly for group 2. you want the subreport to run for each group that you want to display a unique value for.

In my subreport I only created a group for group2 and I put it in main report Group2 header and its working fine.
I need to do a sum of all value in group2 to put that value in main report group1 footer is it possible to do a sum or do I need to create another subreport for group1 to get the total value for group1 ? or is there any other way to do ?

if you want the sum in the group header1, then I would create a new subreport / modify the existing subreport to give the total that you are after. if you can display the total in the group footer1, then you could create your own total: shared numbervar aTotal; shared numbervar aSubreport; aTotal := aTotal + aSubreport; ""//will hide the running total of course you would substitute your subreport variable. Then when you want to display the total, you would of course, write a formula like: shared numbervar aTotal; aTotal HTH

I created a formula
Shared numbervar aTotal ;
aTotal := aTotal + {#Group 2 Charges}
//I am getting charges for group2 from the running total above
I created another formula in main report
Shared numbervar aTotal;
aTotal
I used this in report footer and I am getting correct grand total for the report.However I also need totals for data in Group1.Using the above formula I could able to get grand total in report footer but I am not able to reset shared variable in group footer 1 if so I could able to get what I am looking for.
It will be easier for me if I could create a formula for the totals for Group1 with in th same report rather than creating another subreport.
Thanks

have another variable for the group1 shared numbervar agroup1; create a formla like: shared numbervar agroup1; agroup1 := 0; ""//will hide the resulting 0 place the formula in the group header 1...this will reset the group 1 total add another line to : Shared numbervar aTotal ; shared numbervar agroup1; agroup1 := agroup1 +{#Group 2 Charges}; aTotal := aTotal + {#Group 2 Charges} that's all you need...and of course a display formula, but you already know how to do that.

Excellent!! Its working for me you are a master [IMG]smileys/smiley1.gif" align="middle" />
I have another question I also do need to calculate % for each group typically this should me the formula
Total Charges GF2/Total Charges RF
Total Charges GF1/Total Charges RF
However I am having a problem to do this kind of % calculation for shared variables in groups, when I put the RF formula it is giving erroneous result.

typically for formulas that are not producing the desired values, I will create multiple formulas and display them, like: one for Total Charges GF2 and one for Total Charges RF and then compare the result to Total Charges GF2/Total Charges RF same for the GF1 so that I can 'see' what CR is doing.
