[rtucci]

I have a survey report that has a variable date range, i am able to extract total number of survey's sent with in a given date range, in my sub report I look at total number responded to, how do i pass the date range from the main report to the sub report ?.

 

Thanks

define a parameter in your subreport (as type DateRange). in your main report select the subreport element and add the Date-Range value to the parameter list in subreports´ properties.

Since your date range is your input parameter, you already have it as a PARAMETER ($P{DATE_RANGE})

Create a parameter in your sub-report as $P{SUB_DATE_RANGE}

Selecet Subreport section, goto parameter mapping in properties panel, add a mapping value which maps $P{DATE_RANGE} to  $P{SUB_DATE_RANGE}

just make sure both main & subreport date parameters have same data type as date
