  Hello,
  
  Please send your report file to tz@fast-report.com, I'll take a look at it. Also, if possible, send me the screenshot of what you want to achieve.

  Samir,
  
  I know what you are talking about. I used to use CR until I switched to FR.
  
  With FR, it is not necessary to explicitly link data from the main report to the subreport. Subreports have access to all the data/variables in the main report.
  
  Here is one of my working reports.
  
  I have a report that has a subreprt in a group footer. In the subreport is a chart. The chart dataset is based on a field from the report band (actually the grouping field). The dataset for the graph calls a stored procedure and passes the field data from the group variable as a parameter. I'm using it as a parameter to a stored procedure but you could use the main report data directly in your sql, for an expression, subreport title, etc.
  
  
  I hope this helps.
  
  Bryan

  Thanks Bryan
  
  i found out the solution actually it was the Filter Criteria i was looking for in the data band of the subreports where in i can filter out the data through a Group Selection it uses the same dataset as of the main one.
  
  Thanks
