Print if...

[buyak]

Hi all,

I'm making a report that can pull info from one company or multiple companies. I want the company name to display in the Title band if they type in one company in the Parameters prompt... this i can do. I just pull the $P{Customer} unto the page. When they enter the wildcard % into the prompt, it pulls all companies, however, only the percentage sign will show.

I don't know how to tell iReport how to Print "All Companies" IF % is used in the Customer Prompt just like it prints the Customer's name when they enter the customers info in the prompt.

Thanks in advance for anyone that can help. I'm sure it's a real simple fix,  but I'm not familiar with java and what the expressions ALL mean and I'm starting to realize I need to be if I want to get the full benefits out of this awesome report designer.

just write a simple expression

("%".equals($P{Company})? "All Companies" : $P{Company})

 

assuming that your parameter is called Company. Be aware that report elements are case sensitive.

what you mean by "All companies" in the expression ("%".equals($P{Company})? "All Companies" : $P{Company})

can give more detail

it is a static string you set instead of a variable.
