Hi,

Can I know how to do a running sum in Databand?

For example header "No, ItemID, ...

The "No" will add by itself starting from 1, 2 & so on.

hope you can understand.

Thanks.

One way to do it is like this:


Add a variable of type int to the report, start value is 0, lets say it is called MySum

Edit the RenderingEvent of the databand and add

MySum++;

Now you can print this sum in the databand:

{this.MySum}

I hope that helps.

Thanks. It helps.

What about in GroupheaderBand?? Is it the same?
I have test it in groupheaderband, but instead of appearing 1,2,3... it appears as 1,2,5,13 & so on.

Thanks.

Correct berhaivor. The variable increments by on for every data row.

For use in Group Headerband, you need a second variable MySumGroup and you should you the rendering event of the group for the new variable.

Thanks, Marco

Thanks for your help.
But, i seems not able to get the desired results.

I have try as below

Add a variable of type int to the report, start value is 1, & named it as MyGroupSum

Edit the RenderingEvent of the GroupHeaderBand and add

MyGroupSum++;

In the GroupHeaderBand:
{this.MyGroupSum}

But, the result is still the same... 1, 3, 4, 5....

Can you help on this? Thanks

Hmm, it seem that the event is called every timer, even if the Band is not printed.

I would try BeforePrint of the groupband or

BeforePrint of the text component inside the group band.

Let me know if it works..

Is your variable called 'unit'?

Try changing that name, cause unit is already a member in the StiReport Class.

Hmm.. I have rename my textbox. But, it comes up with the above errors.
Please help on that.

I created a variable "MySum" int, Default Value = 0
Then in the databand, I have tried putting MySum++; in Before Render or Rendering Events & Before Print, it still comes up with the same errors.
