Hi,

Generally speaking, can both a parent report and a subreport access data from the same tables (as a shared dataset) in SSRS 2008 R2? Any information or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike M.

nope. not from same dataset. you've create separate datasets in both reports which forms both parent and child reports. but my question is whats the need of dataset in parent unless its showing some other data other than that shown by child

Hi visakh16,

what if my main report is the detailed report and my sub report is the summary and i use separate datasets but the content of the dataset is the same. or i need to modify the contents for the sub report because it only need 3 fields.

example:
main report(detailed)
fields 1,2,3,4,5,6,78

sub report(summary)
fields 1,4,5- i have to sumarize based on 1

for summary do i need to modify the query. because i create sub report the query from main report and the query from sub report is the same on the dataset name is different.

regards,

no need. you can use same query and apply grouping on it at report level

if you want to apply same filter means you need to create it in subreport also
you need to add subreport to report body part not in header or footer
