Hi,

I'm new to BIRT and am trying to create a balance sheet report which contains amount column and DB/CR column.
I need to calculate sum of Amount column based on DB/CR. i.e., i need to ADD the amount value if DB/CR column has DB and subtract amount value if DB/CR has CR.
the total has to be displayed at the end of the amount column.
Please help how to calculate the same

How do your DB/CR values come in? As positive and negative values?
Can you post a sample of what the data could look like?

I've attached the sample of how the report should look like. I need to get the value of TOTAL that is calculated in the sample data.
The table is grouped based on the GLType and Ledger number and for each group of gltype, i need to display the total.

I am not sure how you calculate your balance, but I dumped your data to
csv file and wrote a report off of it. If you look at the expression on
the aggregation element in the group footer you will see how I handle
the db vs cr field.

if(dataSetRow["DB / CR"] == "db"){
dataSetRow["Balance"];
}else{
dataSetRow["Balance"]*-1;
}
