jasper reports - JasperReports' iReport - generating a grand total

Question

I have a variable datatype set up in the group footer band that generates a subtotal for the counts in each group in my report. Works great. I would like a grand total to generate on the last page of my report, simply summing up the subtotal values. This has been harder to figure out. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You can use two variables with different resetType - for calculating sum in group (with resetType="Group" resetGroup="groupName" calculation="Sum" properties) and for calculating total sum for whole report (with resetType="Report" calculation="Sum" properties).

The sample (jrxml file):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jasperReport xmlns="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/xsd/jasperreport.xsd" name="grand_total_sample" language="groovy" pageWidth="595" pageHeight="842" columnWidth="555" leftMargin="20" rightMargin="20" topMargin="20" bottomMargin="20" isIgnorePagination="true">
    <property name="ireport.zoom" value="1.0"/>
    <property name="ireport.x" value="0"/>
    <property name="ireport.y" value="0"/>

        <![CDATA[SELECT DOCUMENTID, POSITIONNO, PRODUCTID, QUANTITY FROM POSITIONS WHERE PRODUCTID < 10 AND POSITIONNO > 18 ORDER BY POSITIONNO]]>

</jasperReport>

The result will be:
