I am very new to jasper reports so please bare with me. I created a new jasper report using the "tree" template. I simply used a table that has ~50 fields (select * from mytable). Jasper reports created the report. I made no other modifications, whatever jasper studio generated is the fie I have. It seems to have a height of 1420px. The columns are on the left, the values are on the right. When I go preview the report now, I get the error message:
the detail section, the page and column headers and footers and the
margins do not fit the page height
I understand that there are so many columns, it is to large for the report, but do not know how to solve it. I would like the report to automatically start a new page whenever the data fills up. I do not know the exact heights these fields will have as it depends on how much text is inside of each, which depends what is stored in the database. How can I accomplish so that the report automatically starts a new page when it needs to?

In my main report I have some fields which I need to use in my subreport.
Right now I'm loading one csv file in both the main and the sub reports, but this seems to slow down the preview of my reports (I need these reports in a program). Eve if I use the preview in Crystal Reporst, it loads 3 times the same database, so I was thinking about linking the fields.
So I do Right Click on Subreport -> Change Subreport Links... and then I put the fields I want on the right side of the shown table. But when I do a preview of the whole report, in the subreport it shows only the first line and not all the values inside.
How do I manage to make the subreport show all the values of the fields?
I'm using the table in my jasper report.When i put the table in the detail section it repeats the table so i put it to the summary band.
I also want to add the page footer in my report too.
How can i do this jasper report 5.5 ?
If you are using iReport to design your report, there is an easy way to add/remove bands, such as a Page Footer. On the left, on the Report Inspector, if "Page Footer" is in light grey (which means it is not inserted), right click on it, and select "Add Band" :
Also, another way i deal with tables, is by adding all the tables column headers in a single row on the Title band positioned on the lower border of the band, and right down to them, again on a single row, all the TextFields containing the data (inside the Detail band). These way, the first row will be printed only once, and all the part in the detail band (which means all the rows of the table) will be printed. You have just to make a little cell formatting to make it appear with a table fashion (such as borders, background etc) which is very easy with iReport:
I have a report with about 20 fields and 1 group by field. When I create a new report and follow the wizard, it helps me create the complete report but all the field are really cramped in togather. They are not really usable in its default layout. I would like to rearrange them (increase size, and move them apart). Can I do that in Crystal Report by selecting multiple fields and change the size. Is there a work around?
Another option for me would be to have all the fields layout on page page sidwise and an top of eachother as if in a table. This actually does look pretty and professional except that headers are missing in this case. Since I am using group by and 1 group contains about 1-5 records, this layout really suits me. Any suggestion what you do when you too many fields in a Crystal Report. I am new to Crystal.
Yes, you can rearrange all the field into crystal report design. you can change the page size from portrait to Landscape. Default wizard provided you some default design. you can change all things after the completing wizard.
I have a problem with JasperReports' report. I want to create a report that produces for each Database entry, on sheet. When I create it, it shows me only a few rows. Maybe there is a parameter to set in the iReport designer.
A number of things to check:
Change the height of your report. Do you get more rows to appear? What about the height of your band? Does it change the results?
Check which band you have your content in. Some bands behave differently than others. Header/Footer/etc bands do not expand.
Check your input (the data from your query / xml datasource / whatever). Make sure that what you think is the input to your report really is.
Otherwise, likely we'll need more information. If you could upload an example jrxml that would help.
I can able to create Excel document using Jasper Report but the problem is that fields are not properly aligned in the cells of excel sheet and all the data are populated in the plain surface without any cells.i.e) I cannot see any cells in the data populated area.Can u please give me suggestion to make proper Excel document with cell alignment.
I had this same struggle and came up with the following. At the time, I was using iReport (3.0.0) and was able to generate a good xls file. It may be easier in newer versions of iReport and/or JasperReports. Here's what I did:
I created a new report using the new report wizard and chose a tabular template. This creates a report with all of the fields in a line with no gaps between them. It is very key that fields are vertically aligned, that all the same height, and that there are no gaps between fields.
I removed all of the extra objects created (title, extra lines) except for the fields and the headers. I then collapsed all of the bands except the column header and detail bands.
On the report properties, I checked "Ignore pagination"
I changed the text color of the header fields, otherwise it ends up as white on white.
The rest of the important options can be found by selecting Options -> Export Options from the menu and then scrolling down to the "XLS Exporter" section. I attached a screen shot of the options I chose. You can experiment with the settings, but I found (through trial and error) that the options I ended up with work pretty well. These options are not stored in the report def file, they are attributes of the thing generating the report. iReport takes care of it when testing in that environment. We are using custom Java to generate the report in production and we set the attributes there.
