JasperReports: sub-total in column footer below detail multiples pages - jasper-reports

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.

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

How to display the column footer before the summary band in jasper reprots

I am working with jasper reports-4.5.0.I have to display the column footer immediately after the last line of the detail band.But in my report it is printing after the summary band.I have tried with the solutions provided in google like setting isFloatColumnFooter to true.But it does not solves the problem.Can any one help me regarding this.
Thank You.
This can be fixed by doing subreport. Please make sure subreport is invoking from parent summary band and all detail, column footer bands should go in subreport and make sure put summary band should be in LastPageFooter band.

Issue with Column footer and Summary bands

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.

Jasper Reports: How can i have multiple growing subreports in a report?

My Requirement is to show two sub reports in a Report. What I am doing is, I have created two sub-reports and put that into a report.
But the issue is that, both the sub reports are growing (i.e. their height is not static as the number of records are variable). I just want the second sub=report to appear after the end of first sub-report. How can I achieve the same?
You can use the option "Position Type" by selecting "Float" as the value. So based on the first reports size the second one will be adjusted.

You could put the second subreport inside the first subreport, in the page footer. The footer moves down when the detail band grows, so the subreport should always end up underneath the content of the first subreport.

Try to add detail band as many as your subreport to your main report (You can right click the detail band and choose "Add another detail band"). And place each subreport on every detail band that you make.
Detail band have ability to shrink and grow depend on your data row and it will fit nicely to your report.

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.
