You have to link report from main report.

Go to > the report from where you want to link to this report

Click properties

There you will see on the right side "Create Linked Report".

Answer 5

Hello,

A linked report is derived from an existing report and retains the original's report definition. We can specify the link report with difference properties from those of the original report, for example, security, parameters, location, subscriptions, and schedules. To create a link report, open an existing report properties tab in Report Manager and select “Create Link report”.

Based on your description, it seems that you want to create  linked report based on a linked report, however, we cannot create a linked report from another linked report.

For more information, please see: Adding, Modifying, and Deleting Linked Reports
