How to sum all values in a column in Jaspersoft iReport Designer?

Question

I have below similar report in Jaspersoft iReport Designer, but not able to figure out how to sum all values present in vertical column "Doctor Payment" to get a total of "1601"? Length of this columns is variable (i.e. no of rows vary according to size of database & its update frequency ).

Is there any variable like $V{COLUMN_COUNT} (actually gives no of rows, here 5), which gives sum of all values in a column? If no, how to do sum?

Doctor ID   Doctor Payment
 A1             123
 B1             223
 C2             234
 D3             678
 D1             343
Total          1601

Answer 1

It is quite easy to solve your task. You should create and use a new variable for summing values of the "Doctor Payment" column.

In your case the variable can be declared like this:

<variable name="total" class="java.lang.Integer" calculation="Sum">
    <variableExpression><![CDATA[$F{payment}]]></variableExpression>
</variable>

• the Calculation type is Sum;
• the Reset type is Report;
• the Variable expression is $F{payment}, where $F{payment} is the name of a field contains sum (Doctor Payment).

The working example.

CSV datasource:

doctor_id,payment
A1,123
B1,223
C2,234
D3,678
D1,343

The template:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jasperReport ...>
    <queryString>
        <![CDATA[]]>
    </queryString>
    <field name="doctor_id" class="java.lang.String"/>
    <field name="payment" class="java.lang.Integer"/>
    <variable name="total" class="java.lang.Integer" calculation="Sum">
        <variableExpression><![CDATA[$F{payment}]]></variableExpression>
    </variable>
    <columnHeader>
        <band height="20" splitType="Stretch">

                <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="100" height="20"/>
                <box leftPadding="10"/>
                <textElement textAlignment="Center" verticalAlignment="Middle">

                <textElement textAlignment="Center" verticalAlignment="Middle">

                    <font isBold="true"/>

                <text><![CDATA[Total]]></text>

            <textField>
                <reportElement x="100" y="0" width="100" height="20"/>
                <box leftPadding="10"/>
                <textElement>
                    <font isBold="true" isItalic="true"/>
                </textElement>
