How to Merge Multiple Reports into One in FastReport .NET

FastReport .NET is a powerful tool for creating and managing reports, widely used in various fields. It provides developers with the ability to create complex and professional reports using a multitude of features and capabilities.

One of the key features of FastReport .NET is the ability to merge multiple reports into one. This can be useful where you need to combine data from different sources or present information in a more convenient format. In this article, we will discuss how to merge multiple reports into one in FastReport .NET.

Open the FastReport .NET report designer and load your report.

Once the designer is open, select the “File” menu and then “Open Page.”

In the file system, select the report that you want to merge with the first one and load it.

Now, choose the required page and click OK.

Starting from FastReport .NET version 2025.1, you can enable the “Add as Link” option, which means that the report will include a link to the page rather than a copy of it. This means that if the page is changed in the original report, the changes will be reflected in all reports where the page has been added as a link. Conversely, if the page is modified in one of the reports that link to it, it will be changed in the original report as well.

If everything went successfully, you will have access to the added pages from the selected template at the bottom of the designer.

To merge them into a single report, you can save the current modified template, or save it as a new template. To do this, select the “File” menu and then “Save As.” Save the new report under a new name.
