[Multiple Reports generating one PDF]

I know this is an old discussion, but:

 

 

Let's say the first part is a normal report, and the second part is a static .PDF (in my case, an order form).

 

 

Is it possible to create one combined .PDF in this manner?

[use variable to create record number]

Just create a variable for "Item" by going to "View" -> Variables -> [ New ]. Set the Variable Class Type to java.lang.Integer, set the Calculation Type to "Count", and set the Variable Expression to:

 

 

new Integer(0)

 

 

Then, make a field for your variable on the report.

 

 

It will then auto-increment like you want.

[Pie 3D legend bullet shape?]

Hi --

 

 

By default, the Pie 3D chart's legend's "bullets" are colored circles. I am trying to match the appearance of an old Crystal Report, and the Crystal uses colored squares.

 

 

Evidently, this is very important to one of our users. :angry:

 

 

Is there any way to change this, perhaps by editing the chartLegend tag or subtags?

 

 

Thanks,

[Pie 3D legend on right side?]

Hi --

 

 

Is there any way to move the Pie 3D chart legend to right side, rather than the bottom?

 

 

What if I edit the <chartlegend> tag or any subtags directly?

 

 

Thanks,

[Summary of subreport values]

Hi there --

 

 

I understand how to return a value from a subreport to the master report. I also understand how to sum these return values.

 

 

What I would like to do, however, is to have a list of subreport totals in my master report's summary.

 

 

For example, let's say I have customers in three cities: Chicago, London, and Milan, and I call the subreport once for each city. Each time it is run, I will return the number of customers in that city.

 

 

So, let's pretend that I have 6 customers in Chicago, 3 in London, and 4 in Milan. I don't just want the number 13. Instead, I want my master report's summary to say:

 

 

Chicago: 6

London: 3

Milan: 4

 

Total: 13

 

 

Ideally, I would prefer not to have another subreport in the Summary, because the query is complex and takes several minutes to run.

 

 

Can I store the return value from each subreport's query separately somehow? When I try this, I just seem to end up with the last subreport's value in all of my variables.

 

 

Thanks so much,

 

 

- Jay
