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:

DetailsA Subreport Design View
My report has a CrossTab in a subreport inside a group detail (detailsA). This is followed by a separate subreport with its own crosstab in a subsequent group detail section (detailsB).
When there is more than one row in the detailsA CrossTab, the combination of detailsA and detailsB look like a grid. But when there's only one row in detailsA, a space is created between the two. Depending on the information fed to my subreport, detailsA will be suppressed and only detailsB will appear.
There is no space in between detailsA and detailsB. I've tried adding a test text field directly underneath the crosstab in detailsA but the white space appears between the text field and the the cross tab.
How do I remove this extra space?
This has happened to me before. From my understanding it cannot be deleted, and if we adjust the margin of the sections the blank space still appear.
To solve this, I added another report footer and wrote "this space is left blank". This works, but isn't really effective.
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 an invoice report. The everything works like a charm but when the detail is huge more than one page. The Detail overflow but the COLUMN FOOTER appears in every page of the report.
I would like to display the SUB-TOTALS AND OTHER COMPUTING exactly when the Detail finish and printed only once.
What I am doing wrong? Am I doing it in the wrong band?
here is the IREPORT IMAGE.
running example
Actually you are placing things in the wrong band it should be in the Summary Band. As the Column footer is meant to be footer at all the pages to the column so it will print on every single page.
But as per your requirement you need the totals at the end of the report so you can place all these elements which you have placed in the Column Footer in the Summary Band.
That should work for you.
Thanks.
I am creating invoices with JasperReports.
I have a Detail section that has the list of all items followed by a column footer which has Totals, Tax etc., and then the return policy in the Summary section.
I want to always ensure that the Detail is followed by Column footer followed by Summary bands. How can we ensure this? I found that sometimes the Summary comes before the Column footer.
Can someone throw some light on this?
There really is not much of a solution to this at the moment as it seems to be by-design and not a bug (personally I think they should have an option for this). Your options at the moment though are:
Create a Report Group (this is essentially a dummy report group,
doesn't really matter). Move your Column Footer contents into the
Group Footer band, and leave your Summary in the Summary band.
This seemed to work in my limited tests, and I would try it first.
Set Float Column Footer and Summary on new Page to true under the
main report properties. This has the unfortunate side effect that the
summary will always be printed on a second page regardless if
everything could fit on one.
Set Float Column Footer to true and move your Summary section to
the Last Page Footer band. This means it will only be printed once,
but the content will be oriented towards the bottom of the last page.
Edit: For the shed some light on this part of the question. It is by design. The Column Footer is seen/treated as essentially a specialized Page footer. So body content (detail band, summary band, etc.) are placed on the page above it always. The only time it does not seem to happen is when the summary is printed on a new page, after the last Column Footer has been printed. So it is by design.
I've been looking for answers to this silly formatting question for hours, and I think I might have found a useable solution:
move your Column Footer content to the Page Footer and,
create a Last Page Footer but set its width to 1 pixel with no content inside
This allowed me to have some borders/subtotals at the bottom of every column, whilst ignoring the footer-before-summary/total-before-subtotal problem on the last page because the Last Page Footer overwrites the Page Footer (summary) content.
Add a last page Footer , in that add the content of your column footer after that increase band width and add the summary content into that(last page footer) and remove the content from the summary band.
I have read this thread:

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.
