How to display a single entry on a table from a data source?

[Kollin.Meadows]

Hi all,

I'm relatively familiar with Jaspersoft Studio but I'm trying to display a single row on a table element from a XML datasource.

I've tried:

1. Setting all the other entries to null to remove them.
   1. Wrote the expression to evaluate $F{Type}.equals("CLOSINGAGENT") ? $F{Type} : null.
      1. Sets all the other entries to null.
   2. Set all the null entries to display blank.
   3. Set the field to “Remove Line when Blank”.

This just leave the other entries blank with whitespace.

 

Any help or insight would be apprciated!

Not sure what the actual problem is, but be aware that your field "Type" could also be null... so calling $F{Type}.equals(...) causes an internal NullPointer Exception.

So better try the "other" syntax:

"CLOSINGAGENT".equals($F{Type}) ? $F{Type} : null

Otherwise post your JRXML and the wanted + current result.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I went ahead and tried that solution with no luck. I'll post my JRXML here with my datasource XML, along with the desired result.
