Hello guys,
I'm quite new in BIRT reporting and I just cannot find way how to obtain count of rows in dataset.
Here's the thing. In the top on my report is summary table with parametr values, day of creation etc. and one of them should be total number of results which are displayed in details in table which follows.
One more thing, I have to use BIRT 2.2.1 'cause of Tivoli Common Reporting Confused .
Thanks for any help
Paul

What I would recommend is drop your table into the report, and use an
Aggregate count, which will create a new table binding. Create a row in
the header for your table, and put your summary in there. This will let
you access the binding.

I have older version of BIRT (2.2.1), so I didn't find aggregation, but Total.count() works great as well.
Thanks a lot!

Ok, one more problem has appeared. Now I have the header of table on top of each page and I just want to have the summary table on first page..
I know there is expression for visibility, but how can I get number of current page?

The pageNumber is not available to you until render-time, so using it with visibility is unlikely to be the solution you seek.

And sorry for the late reply, but if you haven't already figured out a way around that, here's a quick approach. This solution is based on John's example report above with a couple of changes.

1) Add a computed column having a constant value to the dataset.
2) Update the table bindings to recognize your new column.
3) Above the detail row of the table insert a group.
4) Set the group to group on your new columns value.
5) Move your second table header row column-head labels onto the group header row.
6) Set the group "Repeat Header" to true.
7) Set the table "Repeat Header" to false.
6) Delete the now-empty second table header row.

That should do the trick!

It's great, it's working! Thanks a lot, nice hack at all..

Anyway, I hope my last question. Anybody have an idea, how to push param["something"].displayText through web interface of BIRT (or Tivoli Common Reporting, which is just BIRT 2.2.1 engine in other graphics)?
In BIRT designer webviewer or other type of report .displayText for parameter works great, but in the web version does not pass this data for parameters and i had to make a function which returns text of parameter values from parameters values and it's ugly and untransparent.
Thanks again for other advices.
Paul
