I am using jasper Reoprt Ireport 3.0 for Generating excel. my problem is I have One text field in that i want to keep below data which is coming from my database.
**Disclaimer: Please note that in case of disease conditions which can have both Acute and Chronic manifestations, they are considered as Chronic illness for analysis keeping in view the objective of the report.
Actually in jasper reoprt summary area i have given one text field but it is too small too keep this above line data. but still I want to keep whole data in small field in excel .
because normaly when we are typing in excel cell anything and when it become overflows then also it's looking like it has been typed in next cell but ,when we are clicking in another cell it will show in that cell only.whole data will come in that small cell without wrapping text filed.
just like it i want also through I-report 3.0 . I tried so much but I didn't find solution so i am posting here . please suggest if you faced same problem and got solution too. it will be helpful.
I don't want to merge it in multiple columns because if it will merge multiple columns then for calculating value through Excel column selection will be a problem. and V lookup we cant do so.
if the data in any cell is greater than 2 rows, then the remaining data just gets cut off and not displayed.
Maybe it is time to update. At this time JasperReports 6.x is the version to go, but ...
From my expierience JasperReports is the wrong tool to generate "clean" Excel documents. You get always layout informations in it that result in the behaviour you describe.
To get a clean Excel document I would suggest to go with Apache-Poi (https://poi.apache.org/) and generate it directly or simply to generate a CSV - file which can be easily opened using Excel.

I am using iReport version 5.6.
Right now we're analyzing the requirement for a new project where the requirement is as follows.
We have a report which is designed in jrxml with almost 20 fields where user has to scroll to the right to get all values and hence tedious for the user when result size is too large.
Suggested requirement is as to configure the jrxml in such a way that user can select the column name for which the report should be generated.

We have done study on this and found the only possible solution may be to create a jrxml for each possible combination which seems to be not efficient for our project.
Could you please suggest is there any possible way to handle this situation?
Instead of using a seperate .jrxml file for each "view" you could duplicate the bands and use printWhen expressions to determine which band to display. Not a lot better than having separate .jrxml files but at least all the logic will be in the same file.
Another idea is to use parameters like showColA,showColB etc. Use those parameters to determine the column headers and values of those columns (this could get a little messy though)
Good day to all. I am currently building a program that covers the review of product warranty applications. I'm doing it in javaFX using Netbeans. The program has the following scenes:
a screen where the information of each guarantee request is entered. all the information is stored in a table in a database. The interaction between the program and the database is done, in effect, through JDBC.
a screen where you can see a table that shows all the requests that have been saved. if a row is selected, a button that carries the third scene all the data of the request that was selected is enabled.
a screen where all the data of the tests that are made to the selected guarantee application are entered. The results are also stored in another table in the database.
After the application is evaluated, a warranty review report must be generated. Currently this format is generated in pdf from excel. What I want to do is that from the data results of the tests stored in the database I can dynamically generate the pdf formats from the program in javaFX. Is there a plugin to write these documents automatically? I'm good at writing texts in LaTEX, so if there is a way to generate the latex format from the program and call the necessary information from the database, it would be perfect. Thanks in advance for the help. Any indication or idea is welcome.
It seems like you have two core requirements:
Fetch data from the database suitable for reporting
Generate the report(s) in PDF from JavaFX but can fall back to LaTEX
What you really need seems like a PDF library for Java. I can suggest iText and Docmosis as good options (please note I work for Docmosis) - both are commercial for commercial products so you would have to buy.
Assuming you are using one of these libraries, the process for each report is:
execute the query to fetch the appropriate data for the report
manipulate the data if required to make the reporting stage simple
generate the report
Using iText you would write the query, the manipulation code and then the code to layout the report including the data.
Using Docmosis you would write the query, possibly some manipulation code (Docmosis can also work directly with your ResultSet) and the code to execute the report. The layout is designed in the template (Word or Libre Office Writer).
When you mention writing "these documents automatically" I assume you mean creating the PDF file format, which iText and Docmosis can do. If you mean creating the report layout itself, then you always need to design/write something to make the report do what you require.
I hope that helps.
Thank you very much for your response Paul! I had found something related to the libraries you mentioned, and indeed something like what I'm looking for. I notice that you are more in the subject. then, you do not know bookstore, preferably free, that gives me the possibility of doing the following (pseudo code):
take the row from the database
Save the information of that row in the attributes of a created class.
create text1: "the guarantee with reference" + object.attribute1 + "was not approved in view of the physical revision test indicated that" + object.attribute2 + "
create text2: "..."
...
create the text n: "..."
take text 1 and place it in the header of the pdf document
Take text 2, put it in bold and place it in the subtitle
Generate a table and fill it with the content of text 3, 4 ...
compile all information as a pdf, (word file, xls or others if possible)
I am clear that with the libraries that you recommend you can easily make items from
1 to 8, but I do not know if it is possible to enter the texts within a template created, so that the library accommodates all the texts in the respective zones of the template file. I imagine that this can easily be done with Latex, since everything is written in plain text.
I found a library called Java LaTeX Report (JLR) that allows me to do what I want. This information may be useful to someone. Thank you again for your answer Paul, if you consider the libraries that you mention do the job more easily than JLR please let me know!
I am trying to generate Jasper reports using Java program. Most of the times the cells aren't properly filled in the XLSX file (I have made sure in the iReport they(fields and titles) use the same widths). The text in the cells sometimes appears to be concatenated. Can someone help on how to insert data in a xls row properly.
Also need to know if querying data from jrxml is better or passing a list to jrxml is better (Performance wise).
Thanks in advance.
I'm using Apache POI to modify an existing Excel file (something.xls).
After I set a cell value using:
sheet.getRow(3).getCell(30).setCellValue(222);
I can see the changes reading the value from the same cell with:
sheet.getRow(3).getCell(30).toString();
BUT when I'm opening the something.xls file with MS Excel the change is gone.
Now the funny part:
-If I'm rerunning the code without the line where I set the cell value, I can still see 222, so the change is there, only I see the
old value from MS Excel for some reason.
-I triple checked to make sure I'm not editing a different file from code and opening another with Excel.
-I tried changing some other random cells in a similar way and some work, while others do not. (the cells do not contain formulas and all
are numeric type)
I would really appreciate if anyone could offer an explanation and solution.
Thanks in advance.
I copied the contents of the existing excel file (manually, without any formatting) to a new one and formatted it again. It is working now. I must have set something wrong the first time, I couldn't figure out what though. Thanks for the replies.
I have a table where I imported data using javaaddpath. I would like to limit the significant figures of this java database in Matlab.
I use javaaddpath to add the string I would like to work in and from there I select a database. Once in the database I fill a listbox with messages from the java database. From there I generate a template and check off the ones I would like to work with and hit a plot button. This populates a table with data (again, from the database in java). I would like to know how to limit the significant figures of the numbers that fill up that table.
format short
and
fprintf
aren't really relevant to me here because I'm trying to put the output into a table, which stores as a cell array. I'm currently working on trying the function
vpa(A,d)
but it doesn't accept a cell array or a matrix. I am willing to populate the table as normal, extract the data, format it, and then repopulate the table, I'm just unsure how to do so.
Any help or websites to point me to would be very much appreciated. I also posted this query on the Mathworks help forum (here), but haven't had any luck.
You can set the ColumnFormat property of the uitable to be any string that the format command accepts. For example, if your table has one column you can set the property to {'short g'} (it has to be a cell array, one value per column).
Note that although the format command accepts shortg, in some releases of MATLAB the ColumnFormat property only accepts short g with a space (I think this is a bug).
If you need a number of significant figure that is not provided by one of the options to the format command, the best solution I've found is to set all the column formats to char, and convert numerical contents to strings myself using the more flexible capabilities of sprintf.
