Thanks mlmcc. &nbsp;This works except for one thing. &nbsp;The variable isn't changing after each item in the group. &nbsp;It only keeps the value of whatever the last entry item was. &nbsp;What I am using the subreport for is to calculate the total value of items on an order. &nbsp;So &nbsp;i am grouping by order #. &nbsp;Each group prints all the other fields correctly except for the one that is the shared variable. &nbsp;It is repeating the same number throughout the whole report.

I have a sub report that has a shared variable with the main report. &nbsp;The variable is calculated in the sub report and then printed in the main report. &nbsp;Everything works fine if I don't suppress or hide the sub report. &nbsp;Once I do hide it or suppress it my shared variable value only prints 0. &nbsp;How do I get the shared variable to work without having to show the sub report? &nbsp;Please let me know if you need any more information about the report or its shared variable.<br />

How to get a Crystal sub report not to print but still be able to use a shared variable

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
