Detail field, linked to new report - crystal-reports

I have a main report in Crystal Reports XI that I am using which has fields ProjectNumber, DateOfEvent1, DateOfEvent2, ProjectCategory.
I would like to either have an additional detail field OR hyperlink one of the existing fields so that on click it will open a new table with other records specific to that row's ProjectNumber.
I've used a parameter field with a subreport but cannot get it to dynamically create reports specific to the clicked row. I can only create full reports with all the fields (i.e. for ALL ProjectNumber).
"Hyperlink to another report object" for an existing field seems like an option, but I can comprehend how that is supposed to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Add an "on demand" subreport:
insert a subreport; check "on demand subreport"; click "Report Wizard":
click "Link" tab; link main report to subreport:
place subreport in desired location; right click and format report; choose "subreport" tab:
add a formula for both captions

How to repeat table in jasper report based on grouped data from SQL

This is the output from my SQL query
I am trying to create a report in Jasper Studio which will create a separate table for each city.
Right now, what I have created is something that looks like below. It shows all the data with the City listed as St. Louis. What features in Jasper will allow me to do as above?
Finally figured this out.
Create a group band for your report in Jasper. (Right click report Outline-> Create Group)
Next you have two options - create group from a report object or create group from expression. I used the first option and selected City from the list of group objects displayed. Click Next.
Selected the checkbox Add the group header and click finish.
The other change I did was - Previously my headers were under column header, I moved them under the new band group header. Now it works exactly like how I wanted.

SSRS report need to show n-time based on dataset rows

I have designed two pages and each page have different table.Currently my dataset return only one user details.So i have bind all details in table.
Requirement
In case data set return two user details ,need to print two user details.First two pages for first user and second two page for second user.
Is this possible in SSRS report? If yes please guide me.
As you already have a report working for a single user then I would normally do this with subreports.
Asumming your current report accepts a userid or similar as a parameter....
Create a new new report.
Add a dataset that returns a list of users that you want to produce the report for
Add a table and set its dataset property to the name of the dataset you just created.
You can remove the header row and all columns except one from the table
In the remaining cell, right-click and choose "insert Subreport"
Right-click the subreport placeholder and choose properties
Choose your original report as the subreport
Click the parameters tab and choose the subreport property name on the left side, choose the field from your dataset that contains the userid (or whatever value you pass as a parameter) on the right side.
That's pretty much it, when you run the new report, it will produce 1 row per user, in each row it will run your subreport.
You will need to use a matrix, specifically row groups, grouping by using user details, and possible inserting a page break between each instance. This should get you going in the right direction.

I want to supress the blank field and my report designer
thank you so much for reading and answering ..
this is how look my report designer .
and i have two diffrent type of report look like this
and the other .
Put you ExParameter into separate section (you can have multiple sections from same logical part of report) and use suppress condition for entire section (or just check 'suppress blank section' in section expert).
In addition, you should group by Analyse and put Analyse value into group header - this way you won't duplicate this part of report either.
Right click on this field, click on Format Field, click on Common tab and then Check the Suppress If Duplicate

Crystal Reports: Setting subreport parameters with one main report parameter [duplicate]

How can we pass a parameter from the main report to a subreport in Crystal Reports XI? I have a parameter in the main report. Now, I want to pass the same parameter to subreports. Please help me.
Right-click on the subreport object and choose Change SubReport Links, then select how the parameter is to be used by the subreport.
Using CodebyMoonlight's solution requires a relation between main report and subreport.
If there is no relation between both of them, you can use Shared Variables to pass values between both of them, as shared variable can be set and displayed anywhere in main report or sub report.
Shared NumberVar x := 5;
Perform following easy steps:
Create New Parameter lets say "StartDate" in Parameter Fields in Field Explorer in Crystal Report
Create New Parameter lets say "StartDateSubReport" in Parameter Fields in Field Explorer in your Subreport
Now in Main report file, Right Click Subreport lets say "EmployeesList.rpt" and click Change Subreport Links menu
Select "StartDate" from Available Fields from Available Fields Tab and click on ">" button to make it vailable to link in subreport
Now bind your "StartDate" which you have made available by selecting it with "StartDateSubReport" in dropdown available in "Subreport Parameter Field to use"
parameter sharing between main report and sub report "Right-click on the subreport object and choose Change SubReport Links, then select how the parameter is to be used by the subreport." works for me
I had the same problem. The main report loaded first and then the subreport. You have to load the subreport before you can use the variable.
I think that using
Right Click and Sub-report Links
or
Shared Var Between Report and Sub-report
Both using Selection formula so it is suitable for limited data only
Selection formula working after loading all records from Database table ... report loading bad performance
so i'm tring to limit rows by passing some parameter from C#/VB and send others from main to sub report
For example if you need the transaction of items in period and you can pass the period parameter from application (c# ..) and using Sub-report Links to send itemID

Create a parameter field in the main report.
From the main report, right click on the subreport, and select Change Subreport Links.
In the subreport linking window, select the parameter field from the window labeled "Available Fields", and click on the ">" button to move it to the window on the right labeled "Fields to link to"
Below, make sure you have a check next to Select data in subreport based on field.
Below the checkbox, if it is not already there, select the field from the subreport, to which you would like the parameter field linked.
Click OK

Crystal Report Parameter Link to Sub Report with Command field

I have a main Crystal report which consists of several sub-reports, I managed to link the parameter from main report to sub-report by following this simple steps:
create a parameter ParamOP in main report
insert a sub-report in the main report
right click on sub-report > Change sub report links
select the parameter ParamOP from the "Available fields" window and add to "Fields to link to"
you will notice it will be automatically populated in the "Subreport parameter fields to use" link it to the sub-report field, then click OK
Now, since my sub-report has a command field, how can I display the record in sub-report using the parameter?
Here's my SQL query inside the command, however no data was displayed.
SELECT *
FROM CONFORMEREPORTS
WHERE COVERAGEHEADER = '{Pm-?paramOP}'
ORDER BY [LINENO] ASC
