I had the fields and the variable set to "sting". I'm assuming I need to set it to "double" or something else?

If it helps any, here's some of the XML <reportElement x="100" y="0" width="100" height="20"/> <textElement/> <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{CAD}]]></textFieldExpression> </textField> <textField> <reportElement x="200" y="0" width="100" height="20"/> <textElement/> <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$V{new java.Math.BigDecimal($F{CAD}.doubleValue() - $F{CMD}.doubleValue())}]]></textFieldExpression> </textField>

Changed to: $V{new java.Math.BigDecimal($F{CAD}.doubleValue() - $F{CMD}.doubleValue())} and still not working.

startup failed: calculator_report3_1314911259878_197438: 201: unable to resolve class java.Math.BigDecimal @ line 201, column 21.

In the text box?

Hello, I am VERY new to this. I'm trying to subtract two fields in ireport 4.1.1 $F{CAD} $F{CMD} I tried putting $F{CAD} - $F{CMD} into a text box but that didn't work. I would like to use Designer view, but can use the XML view if you give me enough code. thanks,
