Jasper Reports Excel output

I need to generate a report in Excel format using Jasperreports. I am using iReports 3.7.0 The reports gets generated with no issues except the size of empty cells.

alt text

Can somebody please tell how to avoid the highlighted cell being enlarged. Also the normal cells are also a little larger than their content.

Also - if you're deploying to jasperserver you can set the custom properties within the report. (iReport doesn't do this automatically)

In the properties of the main report element add:

net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.collapse.row.span
net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.remove.empty.space.between.columns
net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.remove.empty.space.between.rows

and set them all to true

Also,I would say stick to basics when you need to export Japser to XLS. I mean no graphics, and more.

The above solution is good for generating XLS from iReport.

If you would like to generate XLS thru program; use the following code

exporter = new JRXlsExporter();
exporter.setParameter(JRXlsExporterParameter.IS_COLLAPSE_ROW_SPAN, Boolean.TRUE);
exporter.setParameter(JRXlsExporterParameter.IS_REMOVE_EMPTY_SPACE_BETWEEN_COLUMNS, Boolean.TRUE);
exporter.setParameter(JRXlsExporterParameter.IS_REMOVE_EMPTY_SPACE_BETWEEN_ROWS, Boolean.TRUE);
exporter.setParameter(JRXlsExporterParameter.IS_ONE_PAGE_PER_SHEET, Boolean.FALSE);
exporter.setParameter(JRXlsExporterParameter.IS_DETECT_CELL_TYPE, Boolean.FALSE);
exporter.setParameter(JRXlsExporterParameter.IS_WHITE_PAGE_BACKGROUND, Boolean.FALSE);
exporter.setParameter(JRXlsExporterParameter.IS_IGNORE_GRAPHICS, Boolean.TRUE);
