Jasper Reports Groups and Calculating Percentages of each group of the total
I have a data series like the following
Year | Month | Item | SaleCount |
---|---|---|---|
2020 | Jan | Apple | 2 |
2020 | Jan | Banana | 3 |
2020 | Feb | Apple | 1 |
2020 | Feb | Banana | 3 |
2020 | March | Apple | 5 |
2020 | March | Banana | 0 |
2021 | Jan | Apple | 5 |
2021 | Jan | Banana | 3 |
2021 | Feb | Apple | 2 |
2021 | Feb | Banana | 7 |
2021 | March | Apple | 5 |
2021 | March | Banana | 2 |
I am grouping data By Year then By Month then By Item Type
I would like to to show the percentage sales of each item as a function of the monthly total. However this is problematic given I use a variable reset on the Month Grouping to count total sales for that month. Then I tried to use F{SalesCount}/v{Total_Monthly_Sales}/100
as the v{Percent_of_Total} But as that variable is still being calculated dynamicaly during the internal Item lines basically for the first item its 100 and then each subsequent item is a percentage of the incrementing count..and not valid. The Total Sales are really on valid when the monthly group has finished being generated. The only solution I can see is use a sql calculation to produce a monthly total field and use this in my percentage variable.
