How can I retrieve the record count of a subreport from within the main report?
I think this is a dupe, but I’ll answer anyway. 🙂
You can create a formula field on the subreport which contains a shared variable. In the formula you’ll set the shared variable to the value of the rowcount field in the subreport.
Then in your main report you will need to create a formula with a shared variable that has the same name as the subreport and then return the value of the shared variable.
Here are some links that may help.
