Pass Main Report Parameters to Nested Sub-Report

Hi JK800 ,

Let’s break down the steps to achieve this:

1. Create the Reports:

   • First, create the main report and the subreport(s) you want to nest within it.
   • Save both reports to the same Power BI workspace.

2. Design the Parent Report:

   • Open the main report in Power BI Report Builder.
   • In the Design view, right-click the subreport placeholder where you want to embed the subreport.
   • Click Subreport Properties.

3. Specify Parameters for the Subreport:

   • In the Subreport Properties dialog box, navigate to the Parameters section.
   • Click Add to create a new parameter row in the grid.
   • In the Name text box, type the name of a parameter in the subreport or choose it from the list box.
   • Repeat this step for any other parameters you want to pass.

4. Link Parameters:

   • Now, go to the Subreport Links window.
   • Search for your parameters on the left side and move them to the right side.
   • Ensure that the option for Select data in subreport based on field is unchecked for these parameters.
   • Click OK to save the changes.

5. Open the Subreport:

   • Finally, open the subreport itself and ensure that it handles the parameters correctly.
