JasperReports' iReport - generating a grand total

Question

I have a variable datatype set up in the group footer band that generates a subtotal for the counts in each group in my report. Works great. I would like a grand total to g

Answer 1

Just create a new variable and in the variable expression add up all of the subtotals using their variable name

for instance:

$V{subtotal1}+$V{subtotal2}+$V{subtotal3}

After that, throw it in the 'summary' band and in the report properties check the box that says "summary on new page". That way it'll be on the last page of your report.

Answer 2

You can use two variables with different resetType - for calculating sum in group (with resetType="Group" resetGroup="groupName" calculation="Sum" properties) and for calculating total sum for whole report (with resetType="Report" calculation="Sum" properties).

The sample (jrxml file):
