    Posted: 30 Mar 2010 at 12:02am
Hello!

I want to create a report that would combine data from several subreports.

Say I have 2 subreports as follows:

Subreport 1              Subreport 2
----------------         ----------------
| A1 | B1 | C1 |         | A1 | B2 | C2 |
----------------         ----------------
| X1 | Y1 | Z1 |         | M1 | N1 | O1 |
| X2 | Y2 | Z2 |         | M2 | N2 | O2 |
| X3 | Y3 | Z3 |         | M3 | N3 | O3 |
| X4 | Y4 | Z4 |         | M4 | N4 | O4 |
| X5 | Y5 | Z5 |         | M5 | N5 | O5 |
| X6 | Y6 | Z6 |         | M6 | N6 | O6 |
----------------         ----------------

Summarising report (what I want to achieve)
----------------  
| A3 | B3 | C3 |
----------------  
| X1 | Y1 | Z1 |
| X2 | Y2 | Z2 |
| X3 | Y3 | Z3 |
| X4 | Y4 | Z4 |
| X5 | Y5 | Z5 |
| X6 | Y6 | Z6 |
| M1 | N1 | O1 |
| M2 | N2 | O2 |
| M3 | N3 | O3 |
| M4 | N4 | O4 |
| M5 | N5 | O5 |
| M6 | N6 | O6 |
----------------


Is there an elegant way to achieve that?
BTW I plan to use the summarising report as a source for a cross tab, so having two subreports visually bind together won't do the trick.

Thanks in advance!

depends on how the data for the subreport is gathered.  Since I always use stored procedures, I have much more flexibility.
 
since you want additional rows, and not multiple columns, the only option that I can think of is to use a stored proc, then you can take your 2 tables from the subreport data and combine the rows in the manner that you desire.

Hi,
Are you referring to DB stored procedures?
If so unfortunately I'm not allowed to create stored procedures for the DB.
Maybe there are other ways to achieve that?

yes, I was referring to a stored procedure on the database.

I can see how you might create 1 table with the 2 columns that you want, and you display them, but the order won't be as described in the beginning...this is supposing that you can join the tables needed together to create a 'bigger' subreport, if there is duplication in the data, I can't think of any way to accomplish what you are after.
 
Perhaps someone else has an idea...
