One excel Sheet for each subreport (No groups in the main report)jaspersoft iReport - jasper-reports

Question

This is really driving me mad.. I read everywhere but still can't understand why mine isn't working
I have a main report( a dummy query returning me only one row) and 2 subreports(each with its own header) found in two different detail band. The second subreport splits into multiple excel sheets!
The main report doesn't contain any groups.. its just a dummy query and has no links with the subreports.
This is what i did in the main report:
Add in Properties : Name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.one.page.per.sheet " with Value="True"
Set Ignore Pagination="True"
Added a Line element and set the Properties Expression: Name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.break.after.row" and Default Value="True"
Then for the second subreport:
Set Ignore Pagination="True"
I just want one excel sheet for each subreports. But the second subreport is being split to multiple sheets... :(
Does anybody know what's the problem...?
I also read an issue with ignore pagination and page breaks here:

I am using the Jaspersoft iReport Designer 5.0.1

Answer 1

I think You can just set the size of a page in main and sub reports to some very large value, for example 999999 and insert "page break" from pallete between sub-reports.
This way You should get each subreport in different page, but second one should not span across multiple pages.

Answer 2

You don´t need to do anthing in the Main. It´s all in the subreports. For example the main:
<detail>
<band height="397">
<subreport>
<reportElement positionType="Float" x="0" y="298" width="801" height="99" uuid="61789fb8-f34c-46d4-a13e-6cfeba5567a7">
<property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.height" value="pixel"/>
<connectionExpression><![CDATA[$P{REPORT_CONNECTION}]]></connectionExpression>
<subreportExpression><![CDATA["repo:"]]></subreportExpression>
</subreport>
<subreport>
<reportElement positionType="Float" x="0" y="298" width="801" height="99" uuid="61789fb8-f34c-46d4-a13e-6cfeba5567a7">
<property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.height" value="pixel"/>
</reportElement>
<connectionExpression><![CDATA[$P{REPORT_CONNECTION}]]></connectionExpression>
<subreportExpression><![CDATA["repo:"]]></subreportExpression>
</subreport>
</band>
</detail>
And use in the last element you have (like a textfield) a BreakAfter:
<textField isBlankWhenNull="true">
<reportElement x="280" y="0" width="120" height="30" uuid="632a6ed9-70ce-4ecd-a3e0-aaec6af95aa9">
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.break.after.row" value="true"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.sheet.name" value="Nombre y apellidos"/>
</reportElement>
<box>
<topPen lineWidth="1.0"/>
</box>
<textElement textAlignment="Center" verticalAlignment="Middle">
<font size="11" isBold="true"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA["TOTAL"]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
This sould be placed at the end of your report
