Topic: Pass variable to a Chart Posted: 14 Dec 2007 at 9:49am
Hello. I need help on how I can use the variable that was passed from a subreport into a main report and use it in a chart. In the chart, the formula I used which includes a variable does not show up as an option to insert in a chart. When I created another formula which includes the value I wanted to pass, the chart allowed me to use the variable but gave me a print time error. I would appreciate your feedbacks. Thanks.

It's likely you have an evaluation time issue. Brian addresses this pretty extensively in his book. You should look into WhileReadingRecords, WhilePrintingRecords, and EvaluateAfter in the help files.
As an additional bit of help, if at all possible, put the chart after the subreport on your report. That way, the variable can be updated and used on the same pass.
