 Multiple reports on single shared dataset?

I would like to create a report that is based on a single dataset, but with action items that lead to delineated sub-reports.

I have a jpg of my report but can't see how to post it here.

I have a pie chart based on a dataset. Under the chart I have 5 text boxes with the words "Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year" (in blue underlined font). When the user clicks a "link" I want a sub-report with appropriate table to appear displaying the information for the period that the user selected.

Setting the action is not a problem. Not fetching from the database again is. How can I get this done? How can I use a single shared dataset between all reports and prevent the dataset from re-fetching from the database?

Thank you, Doug

you can. bring data grouped by relevant fields (Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year) in dataset with additional field category to denote the grouping level. then for all the subreports apply a filter on this field to show only relevant data (ie. Category = 'Day' for day based report,etc)
