Date formatting part of text in Jasper / ireports
how do I format a date field (database field) displayed part of a text in Jasper / iReports (4.5.1)
Displayed via a text field in the report... (using Groovy please)
"Sub total for this date: " + $F(DEPOSIT_DATE)
I have tried (new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy")).parse($F{DEPOSIT_DATE})and I am getting error message:
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRExpressionEvalException:
Error evaluating expression : Source text : (new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy")).parse($F{BANK_DATE})
What I want to display in my report is as follows...
Sub total for this date: MM/DD/YYYY - format...
Answer
Try this:
new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").format($F{BANK_DATE})
