Multiple reports based on parameter fields

[cashewsky]

I am trying to build a report that takes two date ranges from the user and builds two reports that I can show next to one another (this year's data and last year's data). I believe that my question is similar in nature to this one...but the solution does not explain:

Currently my "record selection" looks like this:

{groups.pargrp} = {?Parent Group} and
{claimlin.pidate} in {?Beginning Paid Date} to {?Ending Paid Date}

I have added the new parameter fields but do not understand how to pull these two ranges separately.

Using CR9.

Hi,
In order to show 2 reports ( sortof), one must be a subreport linked to the main report..
If the main report has the Current year's data ( based on the dates entered in the parameters), the link the subreport using those Dates minus 1 year ( use a formula in the Main report and link it to the date field in the sub- claimln.pidate maybe)
and place the data from it it next to the main report's data.

I understand what you mean and I see how I can manipulate the user input date with a formula so that it can be used by the subreport. That is a perfect solution! My only question is how do I determine whether I am using a linked or an unlinked subreport? Is it linked because I am wanting to "borrow" this formula from the main report?
