passing parameter to sub report

  • I have a report which has a chart(sub report embedded in it)

    The main report has dataset1 , takes a parameter @year from the user and pulls up the report.

    I want the @year parameter value to be passed to the sub report as well in order to pull up the correct data ...how can I do that...

    eg: sub report has the SQL : select * from tbl1 where ...

    the sql should be able to take select * from tbl1 where ...and year =@year...

  • The sub report needs to be looking for a parameter @Year. In other words the @Year parameter has to be built natively into the sub report.

  • the main report has a parameter @year and asub report also has a parameter @year . I am not sure how to link them...

    When the sub report is run indicudually , it asks for the year and generates the report , however I want the parameter entered in the Main report to be supplied to the sub report as well...

  • In the report, right click on the box for the sub report go to Subreport Properties, go to Parameters and add your parameter there.
