I know how to get the average between numbers, but when I try to do the same approach (by setting up the variable's properties) to get the average from mixed values of numbers and strings it always returns an exception (and I know why).
How to get the average value for a column_1 with mixed values of numbers and string?
column_1
3
4
N/A
3
N/A
Meaning to say, in column 1, the average must be 3.33. The (3+4+3)/3 formula should be applied, the two N/A values must be ignored/excluded from the computation. How to do that?
This task can be decomposed into several simple subtasks:
Getting numeric value from mixed type. We should check the field for numeric value.
Calculating the average value for all numeric values (skipping non-numeric values).
For solving first subtask we can use Apache commons-lang library. The StringUtils.isNumeric(java.lang.CharSequence) method help us to check if the value is numeric.
For solving second subtask we can use two variables - the first for storing numeric value and the second - for calculating average value.
Working example
Datasource
I used the csv datasource in this sample:
numValue
3
4
N/A
3
N/A
The name of data adapter for this datasource in the example below is str_num.csv. The first line from the file is skipped - it is contains the column's name.
The report's template
I used Jaspersoft Studio (JSS) for designing a report template. The Detail band is using for showing data and the Summary band for showing average value.
The field with values (numeric and non-numeric) will be of the java.lang.String type.
The first variable is for storing only numeric values. We are initializing the variable with null if the value
The expression will be:
StringUtils.isNumeric($F{numValue}) ? Integer.valueOf($F{numValue}) : null
The Java library is using in this expression, this is why we need to set report's language as java and add import for class StringUtils.
The second variable will of Average calculation type:
<variable name="averageValue" class="java.lang.Double" calculation="Average">
<variableExpression><![CDATA[$V{number}]]></variableExpression>
<initialValueExpression><![CDATA[0]]></initialValueExpression>
</variable>

Output result
The generated resut in JSS looks like this:
If we will change the expression of first variable (for storing numeric values) to this one:
StringUtils.isNumeric($F{numValue}) ? Integer.valueOf($F{numValue}) : 0
the result will be:
- It is the average value for 5 records, not for 3 as in the first case above.

I have created a jasper report template using jaspersoft studio and I am populating the template using java code. I have some data in the report which needs to be localize and for that I am seeting the "locale" by below code in java.
Locale locale = new Locale("zh", "CN");
templateParameters.put("REPORT_LOCALE", locale); //A map to pass to report
I have also tried -
Locale locale = java.util.Locale.CHINA;
In populated report "Number formatting" is there but currecny symbol is missing(only dollar, pound, euro symbols are coming)
Below is the code I have used in jasper report to populate the text field -
NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance($P{REPORT_LOCALE}).format($P{Param_Name})
I would be very thankful if someone could pointout the mistake or provide some suggestion.
I believe that your issue related with font supporting.
We should use Font Extensions in case using JRPdfExporter.
I tried to use font with Chinese support and in this case everything is OK.I don't know why using a ton of another fonts is not helping
Example
Java code
Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put(JRParameter.REPORT_LOCALE, Locale.CHINA);
JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, params, new JREmptyDataSource());
Report template
There are 4 textFields in jrxml file: two using font with Chinese support and another 2 - without it.

I am using this code for create report in MS Excel format:
JRXlsExporter exporter = new JRXlsExporter();
From there I don't know if it's possible to tell JasperReports to apply an auto filter on each column.
I was facing the same issue i.e in my spreadsheet(.xls) I wanted to add auto filter to all the columns(15), so I have added one property(Properties expression )name = net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.auto.filter and value as 'Start' at first column header and same property with value as End at last column header and it worked.
Go to the 'Exporter Parameters' pane and make sure none of the 'Start' or 'Stop' options are set for Auto Filter. Choose the empty space in the related list box (see the attached image). Then run the report again. This time you should see the filters in the right places.
http://community.jaspersoft.com/jaspersoft-studio/issues/6876
JasperReports engine can is able to apply autofilters for columns for MS Excel output format. For applying autofilters we have to use net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.auto.filter property. We should apply this property for header cells. It is possible to set filter for only one column or for the several columns.

I've used the Detail band for showing data. For the first column I set the Start value to the net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.auto.filter property for staticText in Column Header band (will be the column header in Excel file) and the End value for the second (last) column.
In case using of setting property for only one column the only one filter will be created.
We can easy set property with help of context menu "XLS Tags -> Autofilter -> Start (End)" in JSS.
Output result
The generated output file in MS Excel format contains autofilters for both columns. The file was generated with help of JSS.

I want to print the content of an ArrayList using JasperReports in Java
Actually I am know little about Jasper Reporting
I use iReport to create Japser Reports and using Java command I will print it.
Now I want to print the student results using JasperReports.
This is my sample results table.
Reg.No SubjectCode Level Semester Grade Marks
132108 CMIS 1113 1 1 A 77
132107 CMIS 1213 1 2 C 57
122101 IMGT 2112 2 1 A 87
122110 IMGT 2213 2 2 A 83
112123 STAT 3113 3 1 C 55
112135 MATH 3213 3 2 B 67
132145 CMIS 1113 1 1 D 17
122118 ELTN 2213 1 2 A 90
112100 CMIS 3213 3 2 A 89
112117 SATA 3113 1 1 A 87
122104 CMIS 2213 2 2 C 54
132104 CMIS 1213 1 2 A 84
So according to my above table I need to print "Results of student in particular level in particular semester".
In my interface I have facility to select the Level and the Semester.
Then the relevant query with generate automatically and results will obtain from the database and using Results object(I create class called 'Results' to store the results of a particular student) I add the results data to a ArrayList.
Now my ArrayList have the Results objects which carries the results of each students in particular level and particular semester.Now I want to print this ArrayList using Jasper report.So expected Jasper Report is like this.For Level 1 and Semester 1,
Reg.No CMIS1113
132108 A
132145 D
For Level 2 and Semester 2,
Reg.No IMGT2213 CMIS2213
122110 A -
122104 - C
Now I have several problems.
1) Normally what I did previously is when I create Jasper Template using iReport I gave the relevant query before creating it.But here query will be changed according to selected Level and Semester.So the result will be changed according to the query.And column headers also changed because subjects are changing.(Number of subject are not similar in each semester and each level)So my question is how can I create a common Jasper Templates to Handle each situation?(if possible)
2) How I print the ArrayList using Java code.I do not know the java code to print the content of ArrayList using Jasper Report.
I know very few things about Jasper Reports.So if you can please help me.Thank You.
you can pass the ArrayList to report as a parameter.
Then in Report create a Subdataset with the same parameter name and type (ArrayList).
Then Create a table component. use the ConnectionExpression:
new net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JREmptyDataSource($P{IN_ARRAY_LIST}.size())
Then map report parameter to table parameter.
Then in TextFields in the table component you can use the expression like that:
$P{IN_ARRAY_LIST}.get($V{REPORT_COUNT})
Make sure that EvaluationTime property of your TextFields is set to now.
UPD:

I hope this is clear now.
I have a string with some numeric value.
I want to format it in a way where hundreds are comma separated and the number is having $ dollar sign before it.
e.g. 12345 should be formatted to $ 12,345.00
I tried the below code without dollar sign:
new java.text.DecimalFormat(#,##0.00).format.(myString)
and the below one with dollar sign:
new java.text.DecimalFormat($ #,##0.00).format.(myString)
However, both are giving error.
What is the right way to achieve this format ?
This is a part of jasper report jrxml where I want to avoid "null" on the report and thus inserting the below code:
<textField isBlankWhenNull="false" isStretchWithOverflow="true">
<reportElement stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" x="1350" y="0" width="150" height="30"/>
<textElement/>
<textFieldExpression class="java.math.BigDecimal"><![CDATA[$F{myString}!=null?new java.text.DecimalFormat(#,##0.00).format.($F{myString}):"Unavailable"]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
Where myString results from a query and is declared in jrxml as:
<field name="myString" class="java.lang.String"/>
Earlier myString was declared as BigDecimal, but then comparison operator ?= was not working.
If the currency value is not available, I want to print "unavailable" on the report instead of default "null". Else, I want the number to be properly formatted as described above.
How to resolve this issue?
Thanks for reading.
The correct expression is:
new java.text.DecimalFormat("$ #,##0.00").format(Double.valueOf($P{strParam}))

The above code can work for three cases:
fix two zeros after decimal point. When I tried to use "Double" datatype for this purpose it did not work for me. But this code can do it.
Fix $ -sign before the number in string datatype and also takes care of "-" sign in its own.
Get "," after 3 digits in a number
For me i wanted to put "," comma after every three digits (by passing string as a parameter) and i tried the following code. It did work for me.... Thank you very much. I appreciate this answer.
<textFieldExpression>
<![CDATA[new java.text.DecimalFormat("$ #,##0.00").format(Double.valueOf($P{actualWrittenPremium} != null && $P{actualWrittenPremium}.length() > 0 ? Double.valueOf($P{actualWrittenPremium}) : 0))]]>
</textFieldExpression>
Just came accross this Problem and found a solution which is working fine for me.
Be Aware - its not exactly what the Autor is asking for but if you google this Problem you will end up here.
I have Servers with German and English Locale and on all the Currency should be like 7.500,60
My final expression:
new java.text.DecimalFormat("#,##0.00", new java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols(java.util.Locale.GERMANY)).format($F{variable}) + " €"
so the Locale Setting is "hardcoded" - exactly what i needed.
Maybe this will help someone
Using DecimalFormat is not optimal. For formatting currencies, we should use NumberFormat. With NumberFormat we are way more flexible; we can set dynamically the current locale and the currencies are automatically adapted to the selected locale.
<![CDATA[ NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance($P{REPORT_LOCALE}).format($F{price}) ]]>
We can set the locale with the REPORT_LOCALE parameter
def params = [REPORT_LOCALE: new Locale("sk", "SK")]
def jrPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jrReport, params, ds)
or with the net.sf.jasperreports.default.locale property.
net.sf.jasperreports.default.locale=sk_SK
see https://zetcode.com/jasperreports/formatcurrency/ for a working example.
Im using iReport 5.6.0 and I took some of these answers but what It worked for me was:
Text Field (I put this into the designer):
Float.valueOf($V{DISPONIBLE_FINAL})
And in the Pattern (into properties tab), I used Custom Format with:
$#,##0.00
Putting all the string mentioned here in a whole "Edit expression" field didnt worked for me.
Hope It helps.
PD: I was using groovy jar that is the compatible with jasper 5.6.0 checked in mvnrepository site.
When trying the recommended answer in iReport, I got "illegal string body character after dollar sign;" when I ran the report.
Easily remedied by escaping the dollar sign with a backslash like so:
new java.text.DecimalFormat("\$ #,##0.00").format(Double.valueOf($F{le1_feeAmount}))
You can do this also using the iReport Studio.
In the studio click on the field and see the properties pane.In properties pane under Text Field Properties you'll find the Pattern property. Paste #,##0.00 or click on the three dots and tick the check box in the popup menu to separate at 1000.
The problem is the locale, this works for me:
new java.text.DecimalFormat("#,##0.00", new DecimalFormatSymbols(Locale.ENGLISH)).format(Double.valueOf($F{7}))
I'm creating reports with Jasper Reports (4.0.0) for our project (JRE 1.6.x).
I'm getting bothered with NullPointerExceptions in my scriptlets, as they do not cause the report to abort, they just make the field be silently evaluated to null. As far as I tested, it happens only to NPE's.
The generated reports are quite important and should not have any errors. So, if an exception occurs (like NPE's for some missing data), it should stop the generation, and the database and/or report should be fixed. Such behavior may hide some report coding errors, unless someone spots the missing field.
What is the reason for this behavior with NPE's? Is there any compilation option or execution flag I can switch to make NPE's bubble up as other exceptions do?
I really wish I won't have to wrap every scriptlet method in a try..catch block and throw another exception on NPE's.
Thanks!
Ok, a sample report. It does not uses scriptlets, but generate the NPE directly on a field evaluation (the result is the same), and can be executed directly on iReport preview without parameters:

It doesn't sound like a null pointer expression problem. It sounds like your data source allows null fields. JasperReports is robust enough to handle a report where some information is missing. There is a property you can set so that when information is missing the field prints "null" or is left blank. If you don't want the report to generate at all if the data field is null, modify your data source so the fields are "not null".
Alternatively, drop on a conditional statement so that your scriptlet only runs if th fields are not null and break if they are. Then when the report hits a null field it will stop.
