Description

A report function that calculates the sum of one field (column) from the data source.

This function produces a global total. The total sum of the group is known when the group processing starts and the report is not performing a prepare-run. The sum is calculated in the prepare run and recalled in the printing run.

The function can be used in two ways:

  • to calculate a sum for the entire report
  • to calculate a sum within a particular group

This function expects its input values to be java.lang.Number instances.

The function understands two parameters:

  • _field parameter is required and denotes the name of an ItemBand-field which gets summed up.
  • _group parameter denotes the name of a group. When this group is started, the counter gets reset to null.

Example

<function class="org.jfree.report.function.TotalGroupSumFunction" deplevel="" name="Orders Count">
  <properties>
    <property name="group">ORDER NUMBER GROUP</property>
    <property name="field">CUSTOMER</property>
  </properties>
</function>
