How to add values from a variable for group-sum

[toxy]

Hi again,

I'll try it again - perhapes someone can help...?

A subreport fills a variable in the main report - this works well, I can print it out correctly at each line(=call of the subreport)

Now I have to add this values for a group-sum... this should be trivial, but I can't manage it.
I created a new variable for this sum and I think it's logical to define it with:

Calculation:   sum
Reset type:    group
Increment type:  column

...and I tried every(?) combination too: Reset type: report/column/page and Incr.type: none/report/group/page... nothing works. So I suppose my logic is basically wrong - that's I'm asking for!

BTW: I'm working with iReports 4.1.1

 

Thanks a lot,

Christof

I've got some sums, have a look at the attachment....

Every hint is welcome!

I've found it... so I want to share my learning process :-)

the line with the subreport (see picture in my last posting) is also a group and i put it in the group footer - with the above mentioned "success". Putting it into the header solves the problem...  oh, it's so easy ;-)
