Use Parameters to Call Same Subreport Multiple Times

[WPrinkey]

I have a report which is going to contain several different types of charts, which I will need to create as subreports. I am placing these charts in the REPORT FOOTER sections of the report (one report footer per row of charts).The report will include 3 pie charts.

As I started to generate the subreport for the first pie chart, I noticed that the 3 pie charts are all formatted the same with the exception of the title and the selection formula. Originally, I was going to create a separate subreport for each of the 3 pie charts. My preference would be to use the 1 subreport and to add a new parameter to determine Chart 1, 2 or 3.

Am I able to pass a hardcoded parameter link to the subreport for each individual instance? I can not see how to do that. I have thought about doing a formula that could possible be changed in each report footer, but I have 2 pie charts within one footer.

If I am not able to do this as a hardcoded parameter, I suppose I can add some dummy field to my SQL for the main report and pass different values that way.
I am using CR8.5.

If you place the parameter in the sub report, when you run the main report, the sub report parameter prompt will come up for the user. I don't think you really need to pass it from the main report to the sub report.
