Example: Use Data from sub-report in the main-report

(for the other way, you assign the variable in the main-report like the example-code)

-          add a new formula field in the sub-report (called taxnumber)

-          fill it with:

Shared STRINGVAR TAXNUMBER := {Taxes.TaxNumber}

TAXNUMBER is the variable name

:= is the assignment

then click on “save and close”

-          Go to the main-report

-          add a new formula field (called taxnumber, there is no problem with the same name)

-          fill it with:

Shared STRINGVAR TAXNUMBER;

IF TAXNUMBER > ' '

THEN TAXNUMBER

ELSE ' - '

-          place the formula field where do you like
