Can I create a report from an existing one?

My question is very simple: I have a .rep document with 4 reports. I need to add one of them to another document, which has 2 reports as well.

It’d be kind of importing reports or something like that.

Is it possible?

I’m using BO 5.1.6

Thanks!

Check this post

be sure to check version compatibility though.

Some of my workmates are already using that complement. That let’s duplicate a data provider, and variables… but not an existing report.

I need to create a new report from an existing one, with all its tables, graphics, filters, sortings, and so on…

Any workaround?

File->Save As

Then just delete all the stuff you don’t want.

You can simply copy/paste a block between documents, too. One of the macros in the download area does let you copy a report tab from one doc to another.

I can’t go File -> Save As, because I want to create my report in an already existing document, which has some other reports.

I can’t copy-paste a table from a document to another. I just can do it between reports in the same document (BO 5.1.6).

I will search that macro :slight_smile:

Thanks
