Elseif In Expression Editor

[maruthu.u]

Hi,

How to make elseif  condition in jaspersoft studio.

[C-Box]

Just use the short java syntax for that:

$F{YourFieldX}.equals("Microsoft") ? "BigButBuggy" :  "OthersArePerhapsBetter" [/code]

of course you can also build nested if-then-elses (use brackets for more readability):

$F{YourMoneyBag} < 0 ? "Ooops negative is bad" : ( $F{YourMoneyBag} <= 100 ? " ok positive but could be more": "more than 100 - well done" )[/code]

hth + regards

it's also great method,

$F{result}.equalsIgnoreCase("approved") ? "Approved" :
($F{result}.equalsIgnoreCase("not_suitable") ? "Not suitable" :
($F{result}.equalsIgnoreCase("hold") ? "Hold" :
($F{result}.equalsIgnoreCase("production_trial") ? "Go to production trial":""  )))

Finaly when Not satisfied any condition display  "" empty.

i'm using this method to complete the process.

Be aware that if your Field named "result" is in java or from your query just  null then you will get a NullPointerException that is internally ignored by JasperReports by default. :-O  Then your expression won't work as expected!

So that's why it's (always) better to turn the equals comparisons to make it null-safe:

"approved".equalsIgnoreCase($F{result}) ....[/code]

;-)

Or just use the StringUtils from Apache, that are also more "null-resistant" and also available in JasperReports classpath.

Just my two cents
