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

I am new to JasperReports, basically I want to put a subreport in a mainreport
The problem is that I put the sub report in the Detail band, so when I query a database that has multiple data the subreport will always repeat itself multiple times when I output the report to a pdf. I want a report that does not repeat itself regardless of how many data I have in the database that i connect with
I have searched the Internet and the solutions is to add
new Boolean($V{REPORT_COUNT}.intValue()==1)
in the print when expression attribute of the subreport, that does solve a part of my problem due to the fact that now my subreport only prints once but it still leaves some blank pages after my subreport is displayed
So I assume it is still repeating itself but just doesn't print the data because of the expression that I added , people say that the nature of the detail band is supposed to work that way and that I shouldn't put the subreport in the detail band, but if I put it in some other band I get this error:
Error filling print... Subreport overflowed on a band that does not support overflow.
The error above will happen if I have a lot of data to the extent that it may take up more than a page.
How do remove those blank pages? If I am ask to not put it in a detail band then what should I do? or what solution are there?
The Detail band will be generated as many times as the number of records you have in your main dataSet(populated by the top-level query).
If you want to keep the subreport in the Detail band, which is normal by the way, you can do one of these things:
either have a dummy query that returns only one record, so that the Detail band generates only once. Then, pass the report connection to your subreport. You may have done that already. This way you can run your query independently of the main report.
or leave the report as-is and add your printWhen expression ($V{REPORT_COUNT}.intValue()==1) directly on the Detail band, not on the subreport. Please note that this is just an ugly hack that may affect the report performance. Your main query still returns a lot of data that you don't use so you should consider the other options.
If you can move the subreport out of the Detail band, place it in a band that allows overflow like Title or Summary band. Then:
have your main dataSet's query empty so that no Detail band gets generated
set whenNoDataType="AllSectionsNoDetail" at the report level(in the <jasperReport> tag) so that all the other sections except the Detail get generated
exactly as in the first option above, pass the report connection to your subreport and work from there
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).
I have created a report as follow:
Multiple detail band
each detail band contains 1 table. Each table is linked to 1 dataset.
Can I hide the detail band whenever the result set of the query returns Empty set (no result found)?
how can I achieve this?
In the "Properties" of each Detail band you have an option called "Print When Expression" there you can place logic that evaluates to boolean.
When you fill it with your logic and it returns true this detail band is printed.
So, you will need to have the information if the table will be filled in advance and cannot address the dataset within.
If your datasets are too different to do this, you should overwrite the Dataset for the main report with a custom one that gathers the information and sets the fields appropriately.
I am using Report Builder 3 to create a simple report. My report is formatted to be printed in Landscape mode on letter sized paper.
I have a single 3 column tablix, that returns about 100 results from a dataset. Instead of breaking to a new page, I want the data to continue displaying in a new set of columns across the page, so that it all fits on a single page. I'm not sure how to accomplish this.
add three tablix on the one page then divided the data on it..
During PDf generation in Jasper, I have 2 bands having table in each, if data display of table1 ends in 90% of a page in PDF, then data display of table 2 display starts, where the table column header cannot be able to print within that page, so it prints only the border line of the table in that balance 10% of the page, but it normally prints the same data in next page. Here the problem is, it should not print the border of the table in first page if the actual data containing in that table cell cant able to print it within that page. This looks like some junk printing in the PDF. Please help.
For the group which holds Table 2, set the minHeightToStartNewPage, as per your requirements (maybe something like 100 or 200, for an A4 layout).
