==Summarizing Summarising Report Data==__NOEDITSECTION__In addition to displaying report details in an iReport template, the iReport Designer allows you create creating summaries or calculations of data returned in the report. These can take the form of totals, sums, and counts (stored in Variablesvariables), or more complicated data summaries such as Crosstabs crosstabs or Chartscharts. Because summarizing data necessarily depends on multiple records, data summaries must exist in bands ''after'' the Detail band such as the Summary band, Footer badband, or Group Footer bands.

==Crosstabs==__NOEDITSECTION__In addition to summary variables, iReport provides the capability to build crosstab tables that display data in a grid for easy analysis and summary. Crosstabs allow you to choose data rows, columns, and the variable to be measured and then automatically produce a grid of results for display in a chart. As with other summary variables Crosstabs are generally used in the '''Summary Band''' in a report.  To create a Crosstab:# In the '''Palette''' pane, drag a '''Crosstab''' item to the Summary Band of the report.# The Crosstab wizard displays#: [[Image:IReport Crosstab1.png|center|500px|''Crosstab wizard'']]<div align="center">''Crosstab wizard''</div># Select the '''Field''' to use in the '''Row''' of the Crosstab grid.#: [[Image:IReport Crosstab2.png|center|500px|''Crosstab wizard'']]<div align="center">''Crosstab wizard''</div># Select the '''Field''' to use in the '''Column''' of the Crosstab grid.#: [[Image:IReport Crosstab3.png|center|500px|''Crosstab wizard'']]<div align="center">''Crosstab wizard''</div># Select the '''Field''' or '''Variable''' to use to represent the data in the grid.

Bar chart comparing values of a single variable'']]<div align="center">''Figure 34. Bar chart comparing values of a single variable''</div> In this section, you will learn how to create a grouped bar chart. A grouped bar chart compares the values of a single variable in one group to the same variables in another group. In the example below, the grouped bar chart still compares the number of activity types. However, the chart also compares the number of activity types between the districts. The number of activity types (clearance, impact survey, technical survey, and road clearance) are represented by the different bar colours as indicated in the legend. The coloured bars are clustered together based on their district. The first cluster of bars shows the number of activity in the Bolikon district. The second cluster of bars shows the number of activities in the Waltern district. [[Image:iRep35.png|center|500px|''Figure 35.

Grouped bar chart comparing values of a single variable''</div> The two main differences between adding a bar chart and a grouped bar chart are:*The grouped bar chart requires that you specify at least two groupings for the report. *The key expression and the category expression will differ; whereas, for a bar chart, the value for these expressions is the same.  To add a grouped bar chart to the report:<ol><li>Create a report which groups the results by the fields that will be represented on the horizontal axis of the chart.</li></ol> {{note|For a grouped bar chart, you will need to specify at least two groupings.}} <ol start="2"><li>Add any variables that you may need to calculate the value that you would like to show on the chart.</li><li>If you would like to display the calculated variable for each group, you should add the footer for the field on which the results will be grouped.
