<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana">Gurus,</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana">Am brand new to this Forum. Also, am relatively new to </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana">Crystal</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana"> repors. Let me first say hello!</span> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana"> I&#39;ve a Subreport placed in a GroupFooter of the Main Report. Both </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana">Main</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana"> and the SubReport are CrossTabs. The purpose of having the Subreport is to display the totals of a different period. If am generating the report for, say, October 2006 the Subreport will have the values for October 2005. The report is working fine and displays correct values. Now, what I need to do is to display the difference between the Main report Values and the Subreport Values and the Percentage difference along with it. The report output (should) look(s) like this:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="1"><strong>MAIN REPORT -- OCTOBER 2006</strong> </font></font></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;

This calculated field is the Summarized Field in the CrossTab. It shows incorrect values - display&#39;s zero (0) across.

Is there a way to just share values out of subreports.

The reason I ask is that I am having problems pulling the correct information in one subreport so I'd like to use 2 subreports to pull out Billable hours on one and Billed Hours on another and then add them together to display on the main report.
