Enum CalculationEnum

    • Enum Constant Summary

      Enum Constants 
      Enum Constant Description
      AVERAGE
      The value is obtained by calculating the average for the series of values obtained by evaluating the variable's expression for each record in the data source.
      COUNT
      The value is calculated by counting the non-null values of the variable expression with every iteration in the data source.
      DISTINCT_COUNT
      The value is calculated by counting the distinct non-null values of the variable expression with every iteration in the data source.
      FIRST
      The variable keeps the first value and does not increment it on subsequent iterations.
      HIGHEST
      The value of the variable represents the highest in the series of values obtained by evaluating the variable's expression for each data source record.
      LOWEST
      The value of the variable represents the lowest in the series of values obtained by evaluating the variable's expression for each data source record.
      NOTHING
      The value is calculated by simply evaluating the variable expression.
      STANDARD_DEVIATION
      The value is obtained by calculating the standard deviation for the series of values returned by evaluating the variable's expression.
      SUM
      The value is calculated by summing up the values returned by the variable's expression.
      SYSTEM
      The value is not calculated by JasperReports.
      VARIANCE
      The value is obtained by calculating the variance for the series of values returned by evaluating the variable's expression.
    • Enum Constant Detail

      • NOTHING

        public static final CalculationEnum NOTHING
        The value is calculated by simply evaluating the variable expression.
      • COUNT

        public static final CalculationEnum COUNT
        The value is calculated by counting the non-null values of the variable expression with every iteration in the data source. The count variable must be numeric, but the variable expression needs not, since its value is not important. On the other hand, the initial value expression must be numeric since it will be the count variable initial value.
      • SUM

        public static final CalculationEnum SUM
        The value is calculated by summing up the values returned by the variable's expression. Both the main expression and initial expression must have numeric type.
      • AVERAGE

        public static final CalculationEnum AVERAGE
        The value is obtained by calculating the average for the series of values obtained by evaluating the variable's expression for each record in the data source. Both the main expression and initial expression must have numeric type.

        In order to calculate the average, the engine creates behind the scenes a helper report variable that calculates the sum of the values and uses it to calculate the average for those values. This helper sum variable gets its name from the corresponding average variable suffixed with "_SUM" sequence. This helper variable can be used in other report expressions just like any normal variable.

      • LOWEST

        public static final CalculationEnum LOWEST
        The value of the variable represents the lowest in the series of values obtained by evaluating the variable's expression for each data source record.
      • HIGHEST

        public static final CalculationEnum HIGHEST
        The value of the variable represents the highest in the series of values obtained by evaluating the variable's expression for each data source record.
      • STANDARD_DEVIATION

        public static final CalculationEnum STANDARD_DEVIATION
        The value is obtained by calculating the standard deviation for the series of values returned by evaluating the variable's expression.

        Just like for the variables that calculate the average, the engine creates and uses helper report variables for first obtaining the sum and the count that correspond to your current series of values. The name for those helper variables that are created behind the scenes is obtained by suffixing the user variable with the "_SUM" or "_COUNT" suffix and they can be used in other report expressions like any other report variable.

        For variables that calculate the standard deviation, there is always a helper variable present, that first calculates the variance for the series of values and it has the "_VARIANCE" suffix added to its name.

      • VARIANCE

        public static final CalculationEnum VARIANCE
        The value is obtained by calculating the variance for the series of values returned by evaluating the variable's expression.
      • SYSTEM

        public static final CalculationEnum SYSTEM
        The value is not calculated by JasperReports. The user must calculate the value of the variable, almost certainly using the scriptlets functionality. For this type of calculation, the only thing the engine does is to conserve the value users have calculated, from one iteration in the data source to the next.
      • FIRST

        public static final CalculationEnum FIRST
        The variable keeps the first value and does not increment it on subsequent iterations.
      • DISTINCT_COUNT

        public static final CalculationEnum DISTINCT_COUNT
        The value is calculated by counting the distinct non-null values of the variable expression with every iteration in the data source. The count variable must be numeric, but the variable expression needs not, since its value is not important. On the other hand, the initial value expression must be numeric since it will be the count variable initial value.
    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static CalculationEnum[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (CalculationEnum c : CalculationEnum.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static CalculationEnum valueOf​(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null
