Question : SQL 2008 Reports - One report but customize to each recepient?

Hi Everyone,
   If I created a generic report that pulled all data for each customer but wanted to send an individual report to each customer only showing their data can this be done? Almost like a subreport off of the main report.
  Is there another way of doing this more efficiently? I am trying to avoid creating a individual report for each customer, but instead have a task create and send a sub-report off of the main report.

Thanks!

Hi Eric,

It should indeed be possible to pass a parameter based on the input query of the data-driven subscription.

If you open that second link that I provided, then in Lesson 3 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms169972.aspx), at the bottom of that page is a little chapter called "Specify a parameter value to vary report output".  That's what you're after.

Of course in this tutorial it only makes any sense if you've read it from the beginning, while actually creating the report that they're talking about.  But doing that it gives you a good idea of what is actually possible.

Regards,
Valentino.
