How to use the shared variable from an earlier sub-report in a Selection statement to a later sub-report

Crystal Reports 2008

Create a Report with multiple Sub Reports

Shared variables are executed at a later stage of Crystal Reports processing and hence they are not available for Record Selection.

1. Need to pass shared variable as a Parameter to the 'later sub-report'. This parameter can then be used in the select expert
2. create a formula in the Main-Report and capture the value of the sub-report by creating Shared variable
3. Place this formula and any formula that returns the SharedVar after the sub-report (perhaps, in a section that is below the sub-report that is returning this value)
4. Make sure this formula shows the correct value in the Main report too
5. Then right-click the second sub-report -> To which you want to pass this shared variable in select statement and use sub-report linking to link the Main report with second sub-report.
