Every time when I need a complex report to develop, I normally used a temporary table store data in that and build the report.

Now I am having more than 1 user, so If i create a temp table then more than one user will store the data, so, then data may mismatch.

Do you have any other Idea to develop report except using temp tables.

With the amount of information shared and the question asked, it would be difficult for anyone to tell you the 100% accurate alternative.
To start with, have a look at table valued function and see if that helps you.

- Only if you use global temporary tables (prefix ##). If you use local temporary tables (prefixed with #) then they are "private" to each user so the data will not "mismatch".

There is a very good article on temporary tables and table variables here https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/t-sql-programming/temporary-tables-in-sql-server/[^]
