JasperReports format currency
last modified February 12, 2024
JasperReports format currency tutorial shows how to format currency in a report created with JasperReports library.
JasperReports is an open-source reporting library. It can create reports in various formats including PDF, HTML, XLS, or CSV. JasperReports creates page-oriented, ready-to-print documents.
Different cultures use different ways to represent numbers. For instance, the way currencies are formatted is very different in the countries around the world.
JasperReports format currency
The following application loads data from a CSV file and formats the price values.
net.sf.jasperreports.default.locale=sk_SK
We can set the default local with the
net.sf.jasperreports.default.locale property.

This is the report template.
<![CDATA[ NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance($P{REPORT_LOCALE}).format($F{price}) ]]>
We format the price of the car with NumberFormat; we retrieve the
current locale with $P{REPORT_LOCALE}.

def xmlFile = "report.xml"
def jrReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(xmlFile)
def ds = new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(cars)
def params = [REPORT_LOCALE: new Locale("sk", "SK")]
def jrPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jrReport, params, ds)
JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jrPrint, "report.pdf")
In the example, we take data from a JRBeanCollectionDataSource.
def params = [REPORT_LOCALE: new Locale("sk", "SK")]
def jrPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jrReport, params, ds)
One way to choose the current locale is by setting the
REPORT_LOCALE parameter. This takes precedence over the property
in the jasperreports.properties file.
In this article we have created a PDF file report in which we formatted the currency values.
