I am using JasperReports (Jaspersoft Studio for designing templates) for a project that needs both PDF and Excel output and the majority of the data is the Detail section, within a table. I know you can remove the pageHeader and columnHeader at the document level, but is it possible to remove, or only print once, the column headers within a table?
The output result:
The report's design:
Column headers in the table component are meant to be repeated when the table overflows and cannot be hidden. To achieve what you want you could either:
move the contents of your columnHeader into the tableHeader so that only the table header prints once
or filter out the elements when performing a specific export by adding sets of properties like these:
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.exclude.origin.keep.first.band.1" value="columnHeader"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.exclude.origin.keep.first.report.1" value="*"/>
More info on filtering elements at export time here and here.

The column headers are recurring when a csv or xls import is done in the jasper reports. This is if we are using a "Table Element" in the report. I have figured out the way to exclude the column headers if the Table element is not used . I have used the following lines properties to do so
`
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.csv.exclude.origin.band.2" value="pageFooter"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.csv.exclude.origin.keep.first.band.3" value="columnHeader"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.csv.exclude.origin.keep.first.report.3" value="*"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.csv.exclude.origin.band.4" value="columnFooter"/>`
But the problem persists if I am using a Table element.
I have added the property to the table properties and tried but it seems to be not working.
For XLSx, To prevent the column headers to be recurring from table element, try setting the below three parameters and run the report.
net.sf.jasperreports.export.xlsx.exclude.origin.report.myreport=YOUR_REPORT_NAME
net.sf.jasperreports.export.xlsx.exclude.origin.keep.first.band.myreport=columnHeader
net.sf.jasperreports.export.xlsx.exclude.origin.keep.first.report.myreport=*
NOTE: replace the report name with actual value in the first property.
I got a requirement like, in the text object letter template there is a table, and if no values rows should disappear, and below text needs to come upwards accordingly.
Is it possible?

If you feed the table rows from data records (detail section) or Group data (e.g. Group footer), that would happen automatically. No data = no section.
If you feed the table rows from some other logic, you can place each table row in a different section (e.g. GF1a, GF1b, ...) and use a suppress expression in the section property to dynamically suppress based on your logic.
Alternatively, there's at least one 3rd-party tool (see list here) that can feed data from a Crystal report into MS Word template document. That tool can indeed expand/remove table rows based on data in the report. The document can then be printed or saved as dynamically named Word or PDF files.
I have the following structure in my JasperReports, the table consists of:
set of text fields (as table's headers)
list (as table's rows)
However, when I export the report as *.docx format, list elements shrink to the left (as displayed in the 2nd picture), but I don't understand why.
How can I align the headers and the list rows?

I have to create a report where several tables are diplayed below each other. Each table gets its data from a SubDataset and contains none, one or more rows.
For the first version of the report, I've simply ignored the possibility of a table having no rows and put all tables below each other, each with the height of 1 row. The idea was, that if there is more than one row, the table will grow in height, which seems to work fine. I've given the first table a fixed position and set all subsequent ones to float. In iReport it looks like this:
But when I create a report, only the first table is at the expected position. The rest is displayed too low and overlaps:
Any idea how to fix this? I can't use subreports, because the report is stored in a database so I can't reference other reports. Is there maybe another alternative to subreports or tables?
You have the "Position Type" property set to "Fix Relative to Top". Change it to "Float".
Try looking into using subreports. I do create table followed by another (datasource is XML).
create subreport using xPath
Use Data Source Expression property of the subreport to set the datasource for subreport
((net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRXmlDataSource)$P{REPORT_DATA_SOURCE}).subDataSource("/FUND_STATEMENT/FUNDS/FUND")
I have a XML Datasource in jasper reports.
And a sample xml is given below
<bill>
<data>Test1</data>
</bill>
<bill>
<data>Test2</data>
</bill>
<bill>
<data>Test3</data>
</bill>
Now when I generate Jasper report from Ireport or java program only
Test1 is printed.
I want to print
Test1
Test2
Test3
When you have multiple tags with similar name, you need to use a "List Component" so that jasper reports scrolls through all of them.
If you will use simple text box, only the first tag data will be displayed.
For using list component, you need to create a data set first.
Then use a list component with sub-dataset as the data set that you created.
