brossow Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm sure this is a basic question, but I'm new to iReport and can't figure this out or find an appropriate answer by searching. (Trust me, I didn't want to have to ask.)In a nutshell, I have a 4-column table using a data source that provides item description, unit price and quantity. I have created a variable $V{ItemTotalPrice} that multiplies unit price by quantity to get the total per-item price, and that works great (4th column). What I can't figure out is how to get a total of $V{ItemTotalPrice} for the entire table (i.e. total of the 4th column). I tried creating a new variable $V{GrandTotal} that uses calculation type Sum and the variable expression is $V{ItemTotalPrice} and evaluation time Report (also experimented with other options). I used the variable in a textField in the 4th column in the table footer. (I also tried putting it in the column footer band.) No matter what I do, it only seems to return the value of the last line item in the Detail band and not the total from the table. What am I missing? The table below is what I'm trying to get. Thanks for your help and patience with a clueless newbie!Description Unit Price Qty Total PriceItem 1 $ 5.00 3 $ 15.00Item 2 $ 2.00 5 $ 10.00Item 3 $ 8.00 2 $ 16.00Total $ 41.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution brossow Posted January 18, 2014 Author Solution Share Posted January 18, 2014 Wouldn't you know that after struggling with this for hours, I found a solution just minutes after finally asking for help. I changed the Reset Type on the $V{GrandTotal} variable from None to Report and it made all the difference. Hope my inexperienced fumbling helps someone else at least. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
