I have a JasperReports chart, In the report, the field $F{soma} is BigDecimal, at thedatabase MySQL is Decimal(19,2). I'm using this sql: select SUM(valor) as soma to get the field $F{soma}.
Printing just $F{soma} i get labels like : 1.500,20. Without format expression. What i need is to show labels like : "R$ 1,520.20".
Tried this:
new java.text.DecimalFormat("R$ #,##0.00").format(Double.valueOf($F{soma}))
But no success, so if someone can point me a direction, i'll be thankful.
Have not reputation to post images, but links bellow are about the field types..
Field in MySQL:
Labels being printed (without format expression)
If your $F{soma} is a BigDecimal field then just write
new java.text.DecimalFormat("R$ #,##0.00").format($F{soma});
Use an instance of NumberFormat that has the right Currency to format the value. If the default Locale is giving you a problem,
Use NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale inLocale) with the Locale you want, e.g.:
NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.US);
Use NumberFormat.getInstance() and setCurrency() to set the Currency you want, e.g.:
NumberFormat f = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
f.setCurrency(Currency.getInstance(…));

I would think this is relatively straight forward but cant find documentation on how to do it(or the correct syntax to use) and my messing around hasn't worked so far.
For Dates we have a custom format called Month /Day /Year. This pulls back a the date(as a date type) in date format as such:
"14 April 2003"
The code behind this is:
(DATEPART('year', [Close Date])*10000 + DATEPART('month', [Close Date])*100 + DATEPART('day', [Close Date]))
What I want to get back is the month is numeric format like:
"14.04.2003"
Is it simply changing the "month" part in the code to a different type? Has any one come across this?
Cheers
lampbob, I'd just use date formatting which will mean you will still be able to use all the date-fields flexibility that Tableau provides.
Select Custom format with the following input:
dd.mm.yyyy
See the screen below for more details:
This can be easily achieved using the 'Format' option in Tableau. Here are the steps to follow to format the date field as you have specified.
Add Date field to your Rows/Columns field on a Tableau worksheet.
Set the format of the Date to be DAY(Date).
Click on options for 'DAY(Date)' and go to 'Format...'
On the Format DAY(Date) panel, go to Scale -> Dates.
Select 'Custom' option and type in 'mm.dd.yyyy'. Now the date will be in the string format you need.

Changing to 'DAY' and 'Format...'
If you are only concerned about how the date is presented, then leave the datatype as a date, and use a custom format string via the format pane to display it as desired.
Followed your advice and just had to change the date pill, in the column field, to a continuous value. Then right clicked -> format -> Scale -> custom. Then used the above suggested format setting. Thanks Petr, woodhead92.
In my report I have a string field with some numeric value, for example 123102,6. I would like to display 123 102,60 in my report.
Formatting numbers is a bugger in Java in general but gets even trickier with Jasper.
If your report works with a Locale that provides the space as the number group separator (like, for example, Locale.FRANCE does), then all you need to do is specify #,##0.00 as the value of the Pattern property of your field.
If that is not the case, or you are using several Locales, or you are resolving them at runtime, then the simplest way to solve your problem is to provide this:
new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00", DecimalFormatSymbols.getInstance(Locale.FRANCE))
.format(Double.valueOf($F{your_field_name}))
as the value of the Text Field Expression property of your field.
How can I override the language specific pattern in iReport? I have set the pattern #,##0.00 on a field with a Double value.
If the report is in english, I get the following example output.:
10,000.00
If the report is in german, I get the following example output.:
10.000,00
I need the output 10.000,00 for the english and the german report.
How can I realize that?
Do not set any pattern (make sure to remove it). Instead, in the TextFieldExpression field use
new java.text.DecimalFormat("#,##0.00", new java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols(java.util.Locale.GERMANY)).format($P{parameter1}).
(This is a string. If your textfield expression class is double, you can parse the result.)
This will format the number as in German locale for all languages.
The latest versions of iReport has a feature called Pattern Expression. In that you only need to specify a pattern string, and leave the rest of the field calculation the same. This way you can separate the data from the format, I think it keeps things cleaner, but it also gives you more control over the format at runtime.
Edit. An example was asked for, here it is:
https://gist.github.com/ilopez/9369809#file-so22141769-jrxml
The magic happens in this expression:
new DecimalFormat().toPattern()
You can specify report locale via the REPORT_LOCALE parameter see: Setting REPORT_LOCALE in IReport?
I have a requirement where depending on the parameter selected the table field should be displayed as text or date. For eg, if the user selects a true, the OriginDate field which is a datetime type should be displayed as a date in the report else should be displayed as a text. I tried creating a formula an doing something like below, and then placing the formula in the details section of the report but it doesnt work due to different datatypes returned.
if {?Mailmerge}=true then
ToText({Travel.OriginDatetime}, "M/d/yy")
else
{Travel.OriginDatetime}
Is there a way I can accompalish the above requirement so that I do not end up creating 2 reports one with field displayed as text and other as date?
Try creating a formula that returns your field as a string totext({Travel.OriginDateTime},"M/d/yy") and overlay it with the original field {Travel.OriginDateTime} and conditionally suppress them based on the value of {?MailMerge} such that only one shows in any one instance of the report.
If I'm following you, you want to only show M/d/yy when ?MailMerge is true, otherwise yuo want to show the full date?
You can't show different datatypes in the same formula, so just convert them both parts of the conditional statement into strings:
if {?Mailmerge}=true then
ToText({Travel.OriginDatetime}, "M/d/yy") // 8/30/12
else
ToText({Travel.OriginDatetime}, "M/d/yy hh:mm:ss") // 8/30/12 02:06:00
I don't know what exactly your dates look like in the database, but you can use the above as a guideline into formatting your date based on the ?MailMerge parameter.
What formula do I use to change the field format for Age so that it looks like (String) data?
Here are some choices:
Put your field on the report. Format your field and under Display String, use cstr(currentfieldvalue). (FYI: the currentfieldvalue is actually a function).
Make a new formula. Use cstr({tablename}.{fieldname}).
