I am trying to write java code to generate rptdesign for this.</p><p> </p><p>If we consider of having a value $ in a page then we should show $ - dollar as foot note in the page where $ is present as data.</p><p> </p><p>

<p>In the onCreate() of the date in your table you could set a persistent global variable.  The in your footer check the value in a visibility script.  The script for your date might look something like:</p><p> </p><p></p><pre class="_prettyXprint _linenums:0">if(this.text == "some condition") {  reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("showFooter", "yes");}</pre><p> </p><p>Then your code for the visibility script would be something like:</p><p> </p><p></p><pre class="_prettyXprint _linenums:0">if(reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable("showFooter") == "yes") {  false;}else{  true;} // Reset the PGVreportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("showFooter", "no");</pre><p> </p><p>I haven't test it, but something like that should work.  Let me know if you need an example report! </p>
