Question

hope someone could help me to understand how to solve my question. I have in my datebase table PAYMENTS like this:

| PAYMENTS.PAYMENT | PAYMENTS.TOTAL   |  
| CASH             |1000              |  
| DEBT             |500               | 
| DEBTPAID         |200               |

The problem is: CASH is calculated as cash from sales plus DEBTPAID. So I need to have this data individualy (CASH-DEBTPAID AS CASH) in my report.

How can I do in iReport to modify PAYMENTS.PAYMENT as I describe above. I much appreciate your support! Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

This SQL would give you a separate record for CASH and DEBT:

SELECT CASE WHEN PAYMENTS.PAYMENT IN ('CASH', 'DEBTPAID') THEN 'CASH' ELSE PAYMENTS.PAYMENT END AS PAYMENT,
       SUM(PAYMENTS.TOTAL) AS TOTAL

FROM   PAYMENTS

GROUP BY CASE WHEN PAYMENTS.PAYMENT IN ('CASH', 'DEBTPAID') THEN 'CASH' ELSE PAYMENTS.PAYMENT END
