nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Conditional logic based on output format?

Hi All,

I'm looking to have some condition in BIRT script that only executes for certain output formats. Specifically, I want to limit the # of results returned if the output format is excel. Can anyone post sample code to determine the output format? Or if there's a better way to accomplish this, I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks!,

Eric

Try this: 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
if (reportContext.getOutputFormat() == "XLS"){
//do this
}
</pre>

Beautiful! Only difference is that the format turned out to be lower-case. To test it out, I added the following 'Is True' filter condition to my Data Set and it worked: 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>if (reportContext.getOutputFormat() == "xls"){
row[0]<2;
}else{
true;
}</pre>
 
Thanks for the help!

Oops! Sorry about that! I Just capitalized XLS out of habit! Let us know whenever you have questions!
