==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__

===Pie Chart===__NOEDITSECTION__

====Add a Pie Chart====__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'').

====Modify a Pie Chart====__NOEDITSECTION__Once a chart has been created in iReport Designer, its properties can be edited by selecting the '''Chart Data''' option on the right click menu and adjusting the values and properties.  To modify a pie chart:# Right click on the chart in iReport Designer and select '''Chart Data''' from the menu.# The Chart details window displays.#: [[Image:IReport ChartData1.png|center|500px|''Chart Data Properties'']]<div align="center">''Chart Data Properties''</div># To edit the main properties of the chart, select the '''Details tab'''. Additionally, this screen can be used to edit the reset type of the chart which is relevant if the chart is displayed on a band other than the summary band.# The '''Chart Details''' window displays.#: [[Image:IReport ChartData2.png|center|500px|''Chart Data Properties'']]<div align="center">''Chart Data Properties''</div># In this window, the basic properties of the chart that were established in the Chart Wizard can be edited. These include:#* '''Key Expression''': the field used to group data for charting purposes. To change the field, simply select another field. '''Note:''' The field must be used in the creation of the variable used in the value expression or the results will be incorrect.#* '''Value Expression''': the variable used to store the data to be displayed in the chart. If changes are made this value it is recommended to edit the variable properties as well.#* '''Label Expression''': the area used to define the labels for the chart. Any valid expression can be used here. See [[Summarize iReport Template Data#Variable Expressions|Variable Expressions]] for more details. 

===Bar Charts===__NOEDITSECTION__Bar charts, unlike Pie Charts, have a third variable option that can be included in the report. In addition to the category and value expressions, bar charts add the option of a '''''series'''''. The series choice adds an additional possibility of grouping data though is not required.

Bar chart with different series Expression''</div>#* '''Finally, the Series value can be left blank if desired.'''# The next step is to provide the correct data for the chart to use. Bar charts require a '''cstegory category expression''' and a '''value expression''' where the value expression is a field to group the data by (i.e. the names of the X axis) and value expression is the value to sum.

====Modify a Bar ChartsChart====__NOEDITSECTION__Once a bar chart has been created in iReport Designer, its properties can be edited by selecting the '''Chart Data''' option on the right click menu and adjusting the values and properties.

===Grouped Bar Chart===The horizontal axis of the bar charts discussed in the previous section compared the values of To modify a single variable. For example, the bar chart below compares the number of different activity types.  [[Image:iRep34.png|center|500px|''Figure 34. Bar chart comparing values of a single variable'']]<div align="center">''Figure 34. Bar # Right click on the 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, iReport Designer 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|select ''Figure 35.
