    In Power BI Report Builder a report can have a subreport. ie I can lhave a report of all contracts ie contract id, contract name, start date and end date...for each contract row that meets a condition., I may have another report listing all contracts that are currently booked. With this scenario, when reporting all contracts, the subreport could be used to further define contract specifics for those contracts that are currently booked. In my Power BI report definition, I could included an expression that would display subreport details from another report in my current report based on required conditions. Hope this makes sense...
