Problems with sub-report

rbuser

I'm trying to do a report that have some sub-reports that I use to calculate
values with calculate variables. Then
I put that value on a global variable, and finally assign the value of that
global variable in the OnGetText event of
the label that is on the main report. But then I must hide the sub-reports
(I only use it to calculate values from several
dataviews). I tried to put Visible = False in some events, and the
sub-reports don't appear on the report, but all the values that I calculate
got the value of 0 (zero). If I don't hide them the values are correct.

What can I do?

Thanks

Is there any way in RB, by only using RAP, to build a report which
transverse independent data views and lists aggregate results.

One solution is to use a sub report for each dataview, but as you say I
can't hide the subreport and I just only want to list the sum of each
dataview in the main report.

Hi,

When you set the visibility of a subreport to False, none of the objects
inside the subreport are generated and therefore, none of the events
corresponding to those objects are fired. If you need to make a calculation
as data traverses, you will either need to keep the subreport visible or
make the calculation outside of ReportBuilder previous to printing.

Hi MacBar,

ReportBuilder was not designed to make aggregate calculations during report
generation. Any processing that you need to do as far as traversing your
data and calculating a result that you do not want printed on your report
will need to be done separate from the report generator. (before calling
Report.Print).
