Hello,
Is there any way, one rdf can call another rdf at the point where the file formats are specified. I would like a report to display a group left format when pdf is selected and a tabular format when the excel is chosen.

Don't you see we have a Reports forum? You know the one where you already posted some questions.
And General one is for "General Oracle discussions that don't belong in any other forum.".

You will less likely have an answer in the wrong forum.
I don't know what is a rdf file and my first answer was to ask you what it is when I saw the end of your title.
Doing so you waste others time and help. The time we spend to manage your posts is time we don't spend to help.

Hello,
I would like a report to display a group left format when pdf is selected and a tabular format when the excel is chosen.


Try to put field (which is used as a GROUP LEFT field) into the "right" repeating frame so that it will be duplicated, something like
DEPT  DEPT   EMP
10    10     1234
      10     3535
20    20     1244
      20     2512
      20     5435
|     |
|     duplicated DEPT within the "right" frame
|
"group left" DEPT

You'll then have to create format triggers for both DEPT fields which will (not) display it, depending on requested layout, such as
-- format trigger on "group left" DEPT field:
return (:par_layout = 'PDF');

-- format trigger on "right" frame's DEPT field:
return (:par_layout = 'EXCEL');
