Use the printWhenExpression of the whole footerband you want to hide:

 

new Boolean($V{REPORT_COUNT}.intValue()==0)

 

if no detail, then the internal variable "REPORT_COUNT" should be cero .. and so you can suppress other bands easily.

Thx a lot...

 

It's a good point of depart!

 

But the footer is inclueded in a sub-sub-Group...

 

And ReportCount is incremented to each detail for any groups.

Is it possible to init ReportCount at each new group ?

 

Thx

Well, in this case I would create a new variable e.g. "grouprecordcounter" that counts up the "REPORT_COUNT" variable and has as resettype "group" and as initialvalue "new Integer(0)".

 

that should work (I hope so).
