I'm new to JasperReports. I'm designing report using iReport. My requirement is I have two values (Fields) x,y to compare. If x < y then the data color for y should be changed to 'black' & if greater then data color of y should be changed to 'red'.
Please advice me as to how to proceed on this & where to validate.
I know this is an old question, but in I am assuming Jasper Reports has changed. You can now accomplish this with Conditional Styles.
In iReport you create a new Style and give it a name. You can put any default settings, such as font, color, text size, etc. in the style. Then you right click the Stlye and select Add Conditional Style. Then on the field or fields you want to apply it to you set the style to one you created.
So in your example I would set the Forecolor in the main stlye to be black, set the Condition Expression in the Conditional Style to be
$F{y} > $F{x}
and the Forecolor in the conditional Stlye to red. Then in the detail section where you have the y field placed set the style to the one we created.
There's a discussion at the JasperForge forums on the topic, this is probably the most relevant part:
First drag and drop the field that you want to have dyanamic color twice. Change background color for first field to Yellow and the second field to Red. Now right click Yellow field, click Properties, select Common tab and write this code in the 'Print when expression' box: (make sure to replace myconditionalfield with your actual field name) $F{MyConditinalField}.intValue()>= 5 && $F{MyConditinalField}.intValue()<10?Boolean.TRUE:Boolean.FALSE //if >=5 and <10 then show Yellow field //Code for Red field at the same place just like above $F{MyConditinalField}.intValue()>= 10?Boolean.TRUE:Boolean.FALSE Hope this helps.
It's not exactly what you need, but might likely be close enough to push you in the right direction.
Example to color the even row and odd row is below , hope that help
<style name="BackgroundStyle" mode="Opaque" backcolor="#FFFFFF">
<conditionalStyle>
<conditionExpression><![CDATA[Boolean.valueOf($V{REPORT_COUNT}.intValue() % 2 == 0)]]></conditionExpression>
<style backcolor="#CCFFCC"/>
</conditionalStyle>
</style>
And assign style to each column , worked with me :)

I know how I can change the colour of a cell with the help of conditional formatting. But I would like to use a formula to achieve the following goal.
If a value <5.00% is entered into A2 via a formula, I want it to be displayed in Red 3. If it is >=5.00%, I would like it to be displayed in Green 3. Analogously, the same is true for A3/A4/A5 compared with B3/B4/B5.
STYLE is used for background colours.
I have also stumbled upon this solution, but it is suited for text replacement and not for my purpose. After creating two new custom styles, I have tried =T(STYLE(IF(A2<B2;"Red_if_lesser";"Green_if_greater_or_equal"))), but it has delivered an error (Err:522). What do I have to add to this formula in order to make it work?
For conditional formatting, it doesn’t matter if the cell value is calculated or it’s a fixed value. All you need to do is to define the appropriate rules for conditional formatting. In your case, you'll have to define two rules, one for current values < plan values, and one forcurrent values >= plan values. To change the font colour, define two new cell styles (can be done inside the conditional formatting dialogue), with an appropriate font colour:
Let’s start with the following data:
Select the cells that should be formatted based on their content. Pay attention that they are marked in this way:
Start defining the conditional formatting:
First rule: Cell value is less than B2 – apply a new style:
Set the Font Color for the new style in the Font Effects tab:
Add another formatting rule using the Add button – now with green font color:
Et voilà – the result:
I would like to rip off Google's design for my Continuous Form. The detail section of the form is set up to display N number of records resulting from a search, and thus cannot be used to create this effect (i think). Everything must go in the header section.
there are 2 primary issues I would like to address in this question:
Two toned background. The header section should have a grey stripe and a white stripe. This stripe needs to extend the full width of the form, which is variable and will depend on the user. (i'm using tabs not pop-ups)
How to right justify certain elements of the header so that they stay close to the right edge, wherever that may fall, just like your account information on Google.
The "Search Results" in the detail section are loaded by setting the form's recordSource to the results of a query defined in VBA, which takes parameters from the search box. The form is continuous.
Any ideas how to hack this into place?
Recent versions of MS Access provide improved form layout features when using the ACCDB database file format.
The screen captures below are based on a form in Access 2010. The second image is after the form width was expanded, but it's scaled down for display on this web page. However you can open those images directly to compare their relative widths.
The grey color is from the form header's Back Color property. The white box is a simple text box whose Back Color is white and Back Style is Normal (not Transparent).
The text box's Horizontal Anchor property is Both, and its Can Grow property is Yes. The other 3 items ("?", "Button 2", and "Button 3") are command buttons. Their Horizontal Anchors are set to Right and their Can Grow properties are No.
The result of those properties is that when the form expands, those command buttons maintain their size are are kept right-aligned within the form. And the text box stretches to fill the remaining available space.
Note this behavior is accomplished without any VBA code.
I think these layout capabilities were introduced in Access 2007 and perhaps refined in 2010.
For the background, use two rectangles with transparent borders, one back color gray, one white. You can size them to the form by using the form's InsideWidth property. For example:
Private Sub Form_Resize()
rect1.Width = Me.InsideWidth
rect2.Width = Me.InsideWidth
End Sub
I would do a similar thing for the buttons/images/etc you want right justified. Set their Left property relative to the form's width:
mySettingsButton.Left = Me.InsideWidth - 300
Keep in mind all the measurements are twips (1440 twips/inch)
I am merging three coloumns and showing the merged values in the 4th column, am appliying some rules for merge operation. In some case that rules will bring up null value and display it in any row in the 4th column, i want to highlight the null row alone in RED color.
Like listed below.
Value1
Value2
NULL(Red color)
Value 4
please help me on this, Am working in wicket framework.
You can use AttributeModifier.replace("class", IModel<?>). Put a string in the model of the css tag you have to make it red. For example td.redbox {backgroundcolor:red} with AttributeModifier.replace("class", Model.of("redbox"));.
ps.
You need to supply more code next time. If you ask a unclear question, you'll get an unclear answer.
My requirements bind me to have multiple rows in a single "Details" band.
Right now I am having a static text field (which is highlighted in color) in the leftmost column and three text data fields next to it.
What I want in my report is, the static text band along with the three bands should stretch in height when data in either of the three bands overflows, with the next row "properly" displayed below the stretched row. By "properly" I mean the next row elements should have their "top" values the same and be displayed in the same "row".
I tried setting "Stretch with overflow" flag to "true" and "Position" to "float" but the problem is that the next row data is not properly positioned.
I have found the answer. The key to the solution is grouping the elements inside a row together.
Remove all the static text labels. Use text fields instead, with the text in quotes. They can be grouped with other text fields and data fields.
Put all the data fields after the quoted text field in the same group as the quoted text field.
Now, do the same with all the rows that you want to display. Separate group for individual row.
Select all the elements in a group, or, all the elements in all the gorups and do this:
Set "Position" to "Float"
Set "Stretch Type" to "Relative to the tallest object"
Check "Print when detail overflows" checkbox.
Check the "Stretch with overflow" checkbox.
That's all we can do to make things "stretch" together.
Now, the band would have to stretch dynamically with these stretched details. Just go to the band properties, set Split type to "Default" and split allowed to true. This did the trick for me.
In case someone comes up to this problem and above answers don't work. I suggest checking your xml's root element. If it has the following attribute then remove it:
printOrder="Horizontal"
Then above answers should work.
Hope I'll save someone a day of googling the same stuff.
In my case doing as you advised didn't work. I had to modify your solution a little bit - I made a "frame" instead of grouping objects, and put previuosly grouped elements in that frame. I set positionType="Float" and stretchType="No stretch" in that frame, and set stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" to its child items - then it all works.
Is there a way to change the space between a spark form item and its content(textinput, conbobox)? I already set to 0 the "gap" property of the form, but still there is a lot of vertical space left between the form inputs.
Set the gap to -14 to get no gap between the items
<s:Form>
<s:layout>
<s:FormLayout gap="-14"/>
</s:layout>
<s:FormItem .....>
</s:Form>
The spark skin for formItem has left/right variables set based on "columns." I.e. left="column1:10" means the element is 10 pixels to the right of column 1.
So, create the skin, reduce those numbers in the "content" column area and check it.
Reducing all those numbers and the gap should tighten, along with setting the gap in form layout.
If you want to change the vertical gap between each Spark Form Item, create a custom skin based on FormSkin and change the gap property FormLayout.
If you want to change the horizontal gap between skin parts (labelDisplay, indicatorDisplay, helpContentGroup, ...), you need to create a custom skin based on FormItemSkin and change the ConstraintColumn values
I changed in my custom FormItem skin as followed, and it worked for me:
before:
<s:ConstraintRow id="row1" baseline="maxAscent:10" height="100%"/>
after:
<s:ConstraintRow id="row1" baseline="maxAscent:0" height="100%"/>
There are no paddingLeft, paddingRight etc. properties in FormItemLayout yet.
