Using variables from a report in a subreport

[moziaso]

We are trying to use variables from a report in subreports for division -- how do we do this?

Any help would be appreciated. Please advise if the question does not seem clear.

Thanks

If you mean passing a variable from main to subreport, I would try making them shared variables.

in basic mode

Main
Shared x as number
//stuff
formula=x


Sub
Shared x as number
// divide
formula = ??

I know it works if you share the value from the sub to the main report because that is what we do here and on seagate's site they have an article that tells you how they do this I believe, maybe.
