It's the first time for me to use iReport. How to add "Page X of Y" to the page footer of the report? Thanks!

Hi carl,

 

Use the variable PAGE_NUMBER (data type : Integer ) in both X & Y positions.

 

For X, choose the evaluation time as 'Now' and

For Y, choose the evaluation time as 'Report'

 

thats all.

 

Regs,

yes, i've the same problem. i want to make an expression as follows:

 

new Boolean($V{CURRENT_PAGE_NUMBER} != 1)

 

(print a specific band only if the number of the current page not equals 1)

 

but this example won't run.

Question 1: And how to put the total pages number in a variable?

 

You can't. The total pages number is the value of the builtin variable PAGE_COUNT.

You can print using a textfield with evaluation time = report.

 

Question 2: and pass it to a subreport?

 

If you don't have yet reached the end of the report is no possible to know the number of pages that will be generated. Anyway you have access only to the current page number.

 

Question 3: print a specific band only if the number of the current page not equals 1

 

new Boolean($V{CURRENT_PAGE_NUMBER} != null && $V{CURRENT_PAGE_NUMBER}.intValue() > 1)

Hi,

 

I want to use the same page header/footer for all of my reports. This makes the change management more efficient.

 

So what I did was to create two subreports (one as page header and one as footer) and every report has as its header/footer these subreports.

 

What I have learned so far, "page X of Y" wont work if it is located in the subreport of page footer. - What would be the work around?
