SubReport values
Hi,
I'm trying to build a graphical report using a chart which show the costs of each project in our company, the cost is made up of employeeHours*wageRate and projectExpenses, the expenses are obtained from a subreport in my groupFooterSection and the hours from the summary details in my main report, I used variables to obtain the total cost from the subreport. I then added both costs together in a second groupFooterSection.
In my main report footer, I inserted a chart which graphs the costs on the x-axis and the project# on the y axis. The problem I'm having is that only the cost of employeeHours*wageRate is showing up on the x-axis, the projectExpenses from the subreport are not there, even though they're both added up correctly in the second groupFooterSection.
It's as if the chart in the main reports last footer can't consider values from a subreport, is this the case?

Avoiding the use of subreport would simplify things. You can use an SQL Expression such as:
(SELECT Sum(`ProjExpense`) FROM Expenses as Exp WHERE (`Proj ID` = `ProjHours`.`Proj ID`) )ASKER
The reason I use sub-reports is because I need to list the details section of several aspects of a project: Timesheet, revenue, expenses, lab work.
I then add it all up together to check the profit.
If I add more than 1 details section (A B C), it no longer keeps the grouping per section,
Say I want to show the Timesheet of employee John for project #ST-209, as well as all the bills for that project, clearly there will be more than one record of time entered and more than one bill entered.
But the report will print one record of the timesheet, then one record of the bill, then one record of the timesheet, then one record of the bill, then one record of the timesheet, and so on.
I want All records of the timesheet in one shot, then all records of the bills in one shot

That's why I was using SubReports, it seems to be the only way to do this.?

How do you identify timesheets, Bills etc for the subreports?

ASKER
Each one has its own table in an access database, I have a table for projects, timesheets, bills, revenue, etc...
They're all connected by the Project #, I was wondering if it was possible in a report to have multiple details sections, such as show me all timesheet, bills, and revenue entries for project #23ke
Without using subreports?

Crystal uses a multiple pass method render the report. Charts are generated in the WhileReadingRecords pass but subreports are evaluated in the last pass through the report WhilePrintingRecords.
Thus the data from the subreport is not available when the chart is built.
Why do you need the subreport?
DO you have 2 data sources?
The method described in this document might work
