Need help on using a filter in Total.count() [message #146160]

Hi,

I'm trying to use a filter in the Total.count BIRT function but get errors
when I try to add something like row["statusCodes"]='A'. I don't see any
other way in the expression builder to add anything explicitly called a
filter. This is in a cell in a grid component. So far the only way I can
see to get around this is to use a seperate dataset with the filter set
there.

Basically I want to create something like the following:

Status Code Number of Records Percent of Total
A 10 13.5
B 12 16.2
C 5 6.8
D 43 58.1
E 24 32.4
Total 74

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim

try:
row["statusCodes"]=='A'

I suppose is better to use group item to do this.

Thanks Vladimir,

That did the trick. This is another one of those 'duh' moments for me :-)
