Condition statement

[bgao16]

Hi,

Does iReport support regular condition statements in Expression Editor such as

If (  )  Then

Else If ( ) Then

Else

If not, is there an alternative to implement this? Thanks for the assistance.

you can use the java ternary conditional operatorù

 operand1 ? operand2 : operand3[/code]

so you can transform:

String a = ""

If ( cond1 )  Then
     a="value1"
Else If ( cond2) Then
     a="value2"
Else
     a="value3"

in (espressione editor of variable, textfield etc...)

cond1?"value1":(cond2?:"value2":"value3")

I'm have the same question, but I want to do a >= statement. i.e. I have a column that shows if the employee worked more or less than the average total hours.. this is what i tried but it wont let me use ">=" like in a case statement

WHEN $V{SUM} >= $V{total_average} THEN '+' ELSE '-'
