Drill down with multiple groupings having multiple categorie

Environment: Crystal Reports 2008 on Oracle database

We have a requirement to have a crystal report showing summarized (total count) values for different categories in a single report. However the catch is that groupings for different categories are different. For example,

Site --------------------------------------------------------->Ringaskiddy

Total risks at the site--------------------------------------->25
Mitigated risks----------------------------------------------->23
Unmitigated risks-------------------------------------------->2
Number of users with risks-------------------------------->9
Mitigated users---------------------------------------------->8
Non-mitigated users----------------------------------------->3
Number of user-risk combination-------------------------->35

Here, for the “Total risks at the site” summarized values, the groupings needed are SITE–>Users–>RISK LEVEL–>RISK–>PERMISSION–>PERMISSIONRISK and for the “Mitigted risks” summarized values, the groupings needed are SITE–>Users–>RISK LEVEL–>RISK–>MITIGATION.

Also, on clicking the summarized values, the report should drill down with respective groupings accordingly.

One approach, we are thinking is to have different sub-reports for each category and click the summarized values to open the corresponding sub-report. However, the question is that whether we get the summarized values of the sub-report to get displayed in a parent report.

Please let us know if anyone has any pointers to solve this requirement.
