Stretch overflow not working in excel jasper report

Question

I am trying to export report to Excel (XLSX format) using jasper report, but get problems with stretching when text field is overflow. I get just empty cells when value of textfield is bigger than textfield size. I tried to use these parameters, but it isn't helping me:

<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.collapse.row.span" value="true"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.print.keep.full.text" value="true"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.detect.cell.type" value="true"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.wrap.text" value="true"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.auto.fit.row" value="true"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.auto.fit.column" value="true"/>

Here is refer to screenshot: http://clip2net.com/s/39cbljj

In HTML it looks ok:

Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks.

Answer 1

you should do the following to get it working:

1. Set isStretchWithOverflow="true" for all TextField elements on Detail band (it will fix cutting of long text values)
2. Set stretchType="RelativeToBandHeight" for all TextField elements on Detail band (It will fix the issue with empty cells - all TextFields will be rendered with the same height)
3. set the property <property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.auto.fit.row" value="true"/> on each TextField which may have long value. The point is that property net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.auto.fit.row works on Element level only.Also please note that this property won't work for merged cells.

It works perfect in HTML, but during export in EXCEL format I get problem. I looked stretch sample from jasper reports demo/samples folder and found out solution. I set horizontal alighment textfield parameter to "justify" and it will work in Excel and look perfect. Seems that without this parameter stretch does not work during export to Excel.
