I'm creating a linear report based on a Universe. The end user will enter a date range, within the current year, along with other identifying parameters. My report needs to display:
(a) the total commission for the time period the user entered,
(b) the total commission for the same time period of the previous year.
(c) a career commission total,
(d) the previous year's total commission, and
(e) total commission year to date.
My dataset returns values based on the date range entered, where I can get the first commission total (a). I'm not sure how to get the rest of them.
I was thinking I would have to create several subreports, passing hidden parameter values for the different date ranges I need, but that seems pretty convoluted to me. Am I going about this all wrong?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
