Best way to place some data directly below the "Detail 1 Bar" in jasper reports - jasper-reports

I'm designing a report template using iReport tool.
The requirement is simply to have a table full of data and at the end (just after the last row of data) displaying the totals of that data.
So far I designed like below.
But I still don't know whether it's correct to put those data in Column footer or not.
And I'm using isIgnorePagination="true" so there won't be any pages but a single page of data with large amount of data records.
Is there any way I can have the pagination back. I can't remove the isIgnorePagination="true" because then there will be a gap between Detail Bar and Column Footer if there is less data to display and if there are multiple pages that column footer data will display for each page. (I need that totals to display just after the table data)
Is there any way to achieve this.

Usually the column footer will be set directly over the page footer, as you have seen.
The option Float Column Footer, if set to true, will let the column footer float directly under the detail bar and not anchored over the page footer (see more here).

Display table data inside detail band

I'm using ireport designer 5.6.0. I'm trying to display data using table and in page header display number of pages. I found videos on youtube with examples where they put table inside Detail band and generate report,but it's not working for me, it's like in some loop only displaying "Generating report".
When I try to move table in some other band (page footer/header or summary), table is displayer, but page number is only displayed once instead for every page of report.
Is it posible in this version put table in detail band? Or should I maybe create subreport with table in it and put that inside detail band, so that page number would be displayed correctly?
Basically detail band will be displayed only when the main dataset query returns rows greater than one. I came to know from your question that there is no query for the main dataset. Also if the main dataset query returns 5 rows, then your table will be displayed or repeated 5 times. Make sure your main dataset query returns only row.
Also have a look at the problem due to the table component in detail band

How to make detail band height fixed in Jasper Report?

I have two reports. One is used as sub report of other.
Sub-Report is placed in the detail band of main report.
I need to display a message at the end of the last page. For this message, I am using Last Page Footer.
But the problem is, I need to display the data in Tabular Form. Data coming from Sub report is dynamic, Because of this detail band height grows dynamically and I can not get the table lines aligned properly up to the last page footer.
Can anyone guide me a solution ?
Maybe I'm not getting your point, but if you need something as close as possibile to your last tabular data (not neccesarly at the end of the last page), why don't you use the Summary band instead of the LastPageFooter?
I hope to show you what I mean with this pic:
Is this what you would like to get?
If so, just use the Summary Band in the main report after your detail band

Jasper Report 5.5 - Summary with Page header and footer

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:

Record headers on side of report page for column-wise reports

I'm making a report with "horizontal" records, so that data in each record displays in a single column, and columns are repeated across the length of the page, so the data comes out like this:
The fields really need labels at the left side of the page, however I can't see how to make a "header" at the side of the page. The original report in Excel has something like this:
While I got the colum-wise records working fine, I'm puzzled as to how I can make the rightmost column into a label/header area. It will need to repeat on each page as well. I'm using the "format with multiple columns" feature in Section Expert. I see no such "column" feature for the header sections and if I just insert a text object into the Details column to the left of the data, I get that text copied over to each record like this:
How can I make these "side" headers along the left/right side of the page in Crystal?

Page header & footer on Summary band

I have read this thread:
http://jasperforge.org/plugins/espforum/view.php?group_id=83&forumid=101&topicid=67923
I would rather not repeat the page header and footer for each crosstab, as there are six of them, and if the header needs to change, I'd like to change it only once.
The problems include:
Putting the crosstabs on their own page (should be easy enough with a page break).
Making the crosstabs include the same header and footer as the rest of the report.
Reusing the header & footer from a single source.
Making the crosstab be shown before the data (not all that important, but would be nice).
The report appears as follows:
It would be fantastic to have the crosstab appear on a page by itself, including the same header and footer as the rest of the report, rather than looking like the image above.
The report is set up as follows:
Any ideas?
The solution involved these changes:
Provide a dummy query for the main report (e.g., SELECT 1 FROM DUAL)
Create a new subreport for the data details, based on the former query for the main report
Add a second detail band (Detail 2)
Place the six subreports in the first detail band (Detail 1)
Place the data details subreport in the second detail band (Detail 2)
Pass the parameters from the main report into the data details subreport
Reduce the data details subreport's margins to zero
Delete the Summary band (no longer required)
This allows full control over the crosstab's report position while reusing the same header and footer for both the crosstab and the data details.
