Ireport 4.0.2 band layout multiple column headers and footers - jasper-reports

Is it possible in Ireport to have a band layout like the one below without using subreport? Or is there any other workaround. I tried to use subreport but unfortunately I cannot solve my issue. These have separate queries and I use php to fill in data to each details. Please help me.
Column Header 1
Detail 1
Column Footer 1
Column Header 2
Detail 2
Column Footer 2

Try to use Table elements in your report. You can use there the same dataset too.

Crystal Reports 2016 - How to display multiple tables?

I am actually stuck with a multiple tables problem. I want to display 2 tables in my report.
I saw how to do it with C# but I am not using C#, only Crystal Reports. So I have to manage to do it inside Crystal Reports. Is there any way to do it other than use 2 sub reports?
Because from what I understood (I am very new to Crystal reports): to make a table, you have to put the header of the columns in a Header section and the datafields in a Details section.
But when you create sub groups, you can't add Details sections to each group, right?
What I want is something like that:
Example of what I need
How should I organize my report (in the section expert) to manage such a thing?
Thank you very much to anyone that can help!
You may be overthinking the details sections. When you group data in Crystal Report you get a Header and Footer section for each grouping level. So if you have 3 grouping levels, the report has the following sections.
Report Header
Page Header
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Details
Footer 3
Footer 2
Footer 1
Report Footer
Page Footer
In this report layout the details section contains detail records for Header 3 data. The data for Header 1 is detailed in Header 2, and the detail for Header 2 is found in Header 3.
The table layout you want to use is probably going to require at least 1 subreport. You may be able to pull the data for the first table along with the report data that is a higher level than tables, but you may need to do 2 subreports to prevent duplication of the data. I would focus on getting each table working in individual reports first, then you can link them into another report as subreports once you have both tables displaying the way you would like.

Crystal report - displaying details and report header in a same row

I have a requirement in crystal report, where we have to show details section and report header together, so data will be displayed in a same row and according to the input the detail section can also grow in both direction row wise and column wise. Please use the sample picture for reference.
Is there any way to keep them together like in HTML where we can divide any table into one or more columns?
Any kind of information would be appreciated. Thank you.
In crystal it is not possible to add detail section in report header part..
How ever you can split detail section to multiple layout!!
1 - Right click report body then select Section Expert.
2 - Select multiple column.
3 - Then on layout you can provide detail size and gap detail.
Also you can insert multiple detail section and can swap inside the detail section. but not in report header part
It is possible for this purpose you need to use sub reports.
create a sub report and place in header section. Now limit the width of the sub report to the extent you need.
In sub report place the fields in details and supress rest all sections.
Now you can see header and details in report header..
Can you share along with sub report what you want to view in header?
You can use sub-report or setting up the section expert option.
Go to section expert
step 1: Suppress page header
step 2: At report header mark Underlay Following Section

Conditional Printing for Front and Back page

I'm using iReport 5.2.0 and I have 2 reports that I want to print.
Both reports contain dynamic data and can be of multiple pages. However, number of pages of first report is always equal to number of pages in second report.
In my current setup, the first report is always printed completely and then all the pages of the second report are printed.
However, my requirement is that the report should print in the following sequence:
Page 1 of Report 1.
Page 1 of Report 2.
Page 2 of Report 1.
Page 2 of Report 2.
Page 3 of Report 1.
Page 3 of Report 2.
...
Is there any way I could achieve this with JasperReports?
Lets say , report 1 uses X query with X_SQL and report 2 uses Y query with Y_SQL.
If both of the query has same number of column then it is great otherwise add additional column with respect to X_SQL and Y_SQL in order to union both query.
Remember you have to generate one number series column and one dummy column in your sql. You can generate number series dynamically in your sql.
X_SQL with two new column (number_series,'detail1'as dummy)
union
Y_SQL with two new column (number_series,'detail2'as dummy)
order by number_series, dummy
OUTPUT of SQL:
X_SQL column , 1 as number_series, 'detail1' as dummy
Y_SQL column , 1 as number_series, 'detail2' as dummy
X_SQL column , 2 as number_series, 'detail1' as dummy
Y_SQL column , 2 as number_series, 'detail2' as dummy
Now add two detail band in your new report. Height of report is only one detail band height + top and bottom padding.
1 detail band = first report design
2 detail band = second report design
U can use subreport if your jrxml is too complex.
Now in print when expression of detail band use
detail band 1 : $F{dummy}.equals('detail1')
detail band 2 : $F{dummy}.equals('detail2')
Note:
1) you need to order by in your sql query.
2) height of report need to choose properly.
If still you are having issue then i suggest to post your jrxml.

Multiple crosstabs in the summary band using iReport

I have implemented a JasperReports report (using iReport) which consist of multiple crosstabs in the summary band which works successfully with the following stricture
Summary {
Crosstab 1
Page Break
Crosstab 2
Page Break
Crosstab 3
Page Break
Crosstab 4
Page Break
Crosstab 5
}
The user requirement is to remove the page break and show crosstabs one by one without breaks like this structure :
Summary {
Crosstab 1
Crosstab 2
Crosstab 3
Crosstab 4
Crosstab 5
}
But when I removed the page break, the crosstabs get overlapped.
Any suggestions ?
Try setting property Position Type to Float or Fix relative to bottom, I think float should solve your problem. If that doesn't work you'll probably have to make crosstab elements large enough to fit the actual data.

Table in Jasper iReport Designer

I have created a table in Jasper iReport Designer. When the report is executed,it shows the same table multiple times.
Although only single dataset & table is used.Please guide.
Thanks
Try to put your table component into the SUMMARY band because detail band repeats the record for every row in dataset.
If you really need to put it in the detail band, you can try set the
table property "printWhenExpression" to $V{REPORT_COUNT} == 1
