Can I have a summary band in the beginning?

[sarahk]

Hi

Can someone please let me know how I can add a summary band in the beginning of the report?

I need to show some calculated information in the beginning of the report instead of showing them in the end of report.Any help is very welcome.

 

Thanks.

I think you can use subreport to achieve this. So have the summary at the front page then insert a subreport with its details :)

There is no need to use the Summary Band just to show some sum or totals!!!

Just put your information into the Title band but set its evaluation time to REPORT instead to NOW (what is default).

So there is no need to use a SubReport or anything else!

Will this work if it contains chart like a telephone bill or electric bill?

Hi,

Thank you for your helping me.

I tried and defined a variable and then put a text field in the title section and then I assinged the variable to it. It shows 0 instead of the cumulative value :( When I put the same element in the summary band, it shows the cumulative value.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to specify some properties for the title band?

 

Thanks.

Have you really set the attribute EvaluationTime to "REPORT" ????? Seems that it is still "NOW" !?!?!??!?
