Convert number to word representation

Hi fellow coder

I'm very new to BIRT. I know that BIRT is a very powerful reporting tools, so I think this is very do-able in BIRT.

But the problem is I don't know where to put the Convert code. Now I'm sure that this has been done before, and I wish anyone would be kind enough to give some pointer in doing this.

*
what I want is something like
100 convert to "one hundred"
10 convert to "ten"
thats all

Hi strikenoir,

You could do the conversion in the script of BIRT or you could create an external class file to use within BIRT to convert the values.

Hi mwilliams

Thank you for the pointer. Is there a sample on how to modify data set using script?

(Am I guessing right here? modify data set)

strikenoir,

You could use your code in the expression builder for a new computed column in your dataSet or in a new binding added to your table. Those are the two places I would most likely assume to use your code in. Do you already have the function created in an external class file?

Dear Michael

I didn't know how to change the data set string appearance

, but now I know

By changing displayString = "fill this with string"; in the expression editor.

Anyway thank you for the answers.

BIRT is very good reporting tool
