How may I create a table autofilter on a Jasper .xlsx report output - one autofilter per sheet? - jasper-reports

I am creating a Jasper report via Jaspersoft Studio 6
I am using the following property to export my report into two separate Excel sheets (tabs): net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.break.after.row
My report consists of two tables, one table per sheet. So far, I have no issue creating this report.
However, I would also like to implement an excel auto filter on each table header using the following property: net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.auto.filter
I added the auto filter property to both table headers, with a start and end on both. But when I run the report, the filter only displays on my last table (the one on the second sheet). I imagine this may happen because in Excel, you are only allowed one autofilter per sheet.
How may I put an autofilter on BOTH tables of a jaspersoft .xlsx report output?

Crystal Reports: how do i export a table to excel data and insert line breaks without getting everything on one horizontal line?

i'm new to CR. i have a report basically consisting of 2 tables of data(data comes from several subreports, not crosstab) and whenever i export to excel data it all comes out under 1 line, the entire report.
i've tried adding adding Chr(10)/Chr(13)/Chrw(10)/Chrw(13) at the beginning of each line, together with the data as well as a separated formula but only get an empty cell, instead of a new line.
if i separate the data in different sections, i'd lose the "table" look as i cannot extend lines&boxes over the section length.
i'm out of ideas at this point. anybody?
Option 1: get the data into a single data set. For example, use a Command/View/SP with a UNION ALL in the SQL.
Option 2: at least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports tools listed here allows you to automate the process of exporting one report to Excel and append the Excel export of a 2nd report to the same Excel workbook and worksheet.

Crystal Reports Data Formatting Issue

I inherited a report where when you run it, the data will be divided into two columns and four rows on one page. I am wanting to change the format so it displays like a basic report where it's just rows listed straight down on the page. The report is below. I am using Crystal Reports 2008 version 12.3.

How to create Table in Crystal Report

Create Table in Crystal Report
I am newbie to Crystal Report, and i am using Crystal Report 2008. I want to know, do we have table object in Crystal Report.. so that i can draw a table with specific rows and columns, and drag and drop the items to each and every table cell as per the requirement.
The problem i am facing without using table object is that, i have to align each and every element either it is text field or database field from the field explorer, so that it looks like a table and it is too much time taking.
If it can be done in Higher versions of Crystal Reports, then please give details.
you have to draw tables mannually in CR, using the line and box items from the designer,
alignment is also available, you can use gridlines and alignment options of crystal reports, its not hard at all..
Goto Insert - Ole Object - Microsoft Office Excel
It will add a excel file in your report. By dragging vertical reduce the excel object to one row and and horizontally to your required no. of Columns.
That will create a table with one row and many columns and can grow automatically in Detail section.

How to create Excel document with proper cell alignment using Ireport?

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.
