<p>We are creating a report with TRIRIGA XML data that has a summary section at the top in one grid and detail rows on the bottom in a different table with subtotals for various parts of the table. The summary section is supposed to display data from the subtotals in the table (along with some other calculations to that data). It appears that BIRT is rendering literally from top to bottom, so that the summary section is painted first, so that even if we set a variable when totaling data in the second table processing, the variable isn't set until the table is processed and painted--which occurs after the summary is painted--so that the variable is still null when the summary is painted. Is there a way around this? Can we get the summary grid to re-paint after the variables are set when processing the second table? Or something to that effect? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
