==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.

{{note|It may be helpful to add a text label beside any counts that you add to the report to identify the value. To add a text label, drag the static text field element [[Image:iRepText.png]] from the '''Palette''' pane. }}

==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.

# Finalize Finalise the Crosstab display.

==Charts==__NOEDITSECTION__

#Create a report which groups the results by the attribute on which you would like to base your chart (e.g. ''status'').

# To select the '''unique value''' choose the '''Expression editor''' button and '''choose the ''field'' the report is grouped by''' (e.g. ''status''). Note that charts in iReport will fail if the '''unique value''' is null. In order to account for null values, you will need to modify the expression so that null values are grouped into their own group. The expression should be modified to include the bolded text below. You should replace attribute with the name of the attribute that you selected in step b above.

#Next, select the '''numeric value''' that contains the desired numeric data for the chart. '''Note: This should always be the variable created in step 3 above''' (e.g. ''SUM_status_byAreaSizeSUM_areaSize_byStatus'').

In the example below, the grouped bar chart still compares the number main properties 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 select the number of activity in the Bolikon district.
