Jasper reports : How to repeat table header in each pages - jasper-reports

I am working with jasper report where some tables i am using to show data as usual. I want to repeat my table's header in every page. I know column header will resolve my requirement but still i want to repeat table header instead of column header. is that possible?
I need to show two header i mean first two row will be header of that table. i was thinking if i can use table header and column header both and can repeat both in every page.. Plz help if anyone already face same things

Actually i got a way which meet my requirements. jaspersoft studio has a option to create group header which is available under table's dataset. there i have created a group and got an property "Reprint header on each page" check mark that option then added columns under that group in table section.
And finally its working properly as i was expecting.. thanks for your time

JasperReport: how to repeat a field dynamically

I'm very new to Jasper Report, and alter an existing jasper report to repeat a field dynamically. The current report is for a cashier receipt, which has in the footer a label signature, followed with a line, on which the client sign the receipt...
now, we mignt have more than a client (1 to 9). Thus, I need to repeat this line as many times as the number of users on the account. (the number of signers is set in field (Java bean) that is passed to the report.
Does anyone have a clue on how to do this?
I fixed the issue and I wanted to share the solution with you. Actually, in my the reason why it didn't work is that I've put my fields (signatures and labeles) in the footer. It turns out that the footer is static. You specify its height once, and it remains the same.
In contrary, the body can be adjusted dynamically dependins on the number of rows you displaying... unless you configure it otherwise.
I didn't try it, but I believe the header works the same way as the footer

Table remove column header if no columns on page

I have a JasperReports's report with some data and a table. The problem is when the table splits on 2 pages sometimes on the first one is only the header of the table. I want it to split (can't use Prevent), but only if it is at least one line of detail (if not, all should move to the next page).
Bad Here:
Good Here:
On the first example (the bad one) first header should not be printed.
Ideas?
Put your table header into a group header, then follow the advice on the question:

repeating only some group header rows RS 2008

I am struggling with getting only some group header rows to repeat on subsequent pages. I am using the advanced properties to set FixedData, KeepTogether, KeepWithGroup and RepeatOnNewPage. No combination seems to work. I need the first three rows to repeat because there is only text. The next 8 rows contain group totals that I do NOT want to repeat.
I saw this post:
SSRS 2008: How to repeat on new page one row of table header
but it didn't help me. I still get the TablixMember must have the same value set for KeepWithGroup property as those following or preceding the Dynamic TablixMember.
Thank you in advance.
This is because you are adding everything inside the group.
When you click on tablix row you see a "Insert Row" . When you click on it you can see a row to be added inside the group and outside the group.If you add the row inside the group(which we do and system does automatically) it repeats for every row. So please add a row saying outside the row and try to add sum of the rows in this column. I had similar problem it did solve.

crystal report - repeat group header across multiple column

I have a report that has 3 columns and it is grouped by a value that i display in the group header. The report is setup to run down then across.
If the details span across multiple columns, how do I repeat that group header on the next column.
I have already checked "repeat group header on each page" in the group expert.
I have already checked "format groups with multiple column" in the Layout tab of the details section.
It will not let me insert a text object in the group header of each column.
Not sure how to do this. I could write a formula to only show at the top of each column, but not sure if there is a function to find out when the second column has started.
edit
What i want is below
Group Header Text Group Header Text Group Header Text
Detail Values Detail Values Detail Values
Detail Values Detail Values Detail Values
I would like to have the Group Header Text show at the top of each column. Doesn't matter if its the start of a new group or in the middle of the group.
thanks.
okay, I have your solution, the field, that you are grouping by , just place it on to the page header and it will repeat itself on every page until the columns of that group are finished.
Lets say you are grouping by Employee Names, just put the Employee Name field on to the page header and it should solve the issue, I jsut tried it and it worked, thanks.
There is Previous() function available in formulas that allows to show-hide a Text Object based on the change of specific field value from previous to current record.
Is this what are you looking for? Can you edit you question drawing a sample af what you have and what you want?

Crystal Reports: Cross-Tab Column Arrangements

I am looking for a way out in cross tab, so that if the columns exceed in cross tab, they shouldnt go on next page..rather a new cross-tab should repeat after the first one.
For example, two columns are displayed in a cross tab :
Now if a new column is added, and assuming that it could not be accomodated within the given page width limit, it will go to a page next to it in CR by default.
But in my report it is required to be shown below the first cross tab (and not on next page), which will look as follows:
Please do suggest me if there's a way out :)
Thanks in advance
Your question is perfectly reasonable, but I'm pretty sure that in CR-XI, there is no automatic way to do this. I recommend skipping the cross-tab designer completely and just making your own:
Make a new CR using a placeholder table that has exactly 1 record.
In this CR, suppress everything but the details section. Add a new details section so you will have Da and Db.
In Da, add a subreport. Use your real datasource and add Column1 and Column2.
In Db, add a subreport. Use your real datasource and add Column3 and Column4.
I don't have time to test this, but I think it will display all the columns as you requested.
(Instead of step 1, you can probably use a placegrouper group in your report that only has 1 group. Then, when you add the subreports, make sure to not add any links to the main report.)
Edit
A dynamic number of columns makes this request much more difficult to do in Crystal.
Maybe you could autogenerate the entire report from a script. I couldn't help you with that, but I'm sure someone else on StackOverflow will.
You can use MS Excel to achieve something similar. Use MS Access or something similar to set up a crosstab of your data. Open a new Excel workbook and import your crosstabbed datasource using Data->Import External Data->Import Data (this imports the entire table, regardless of number of rows). In Page Setup, change settings to Fit to (blank) pages wide by 1 pages tall. You can format the data however you like and the format will be retained. This Excel method will squeeze all your columns into a 1-page wide area. It's not quite what you're asking for, but it will work.
The number of columns may be dynamic, but do you know what the field names could be? For example, your columns include 0-50 US States, then you know what the column names will be, just not which ones or how many. If this is your situation, then use my first suggestion (check off the suppress if blank options to hide unneeded subreports). It won't be pretty (alot of white space), but it can get the job done.
A possible solution can be a multi column report. But it can be difficult to make the row labels and values in the same line.
If you can create an additional row grouping then you have the solution that you want. For example if your columns have number like in your sample. Then you can add a formula like:
columnId \ 2
