Do we have any Reporting tool like jasper/birt to create the reports in Elixir, or any API that will help.
i tried searching on google, could not find any. Anyone here who can help. Thanks

I would suggest generating PDF from html using something like https://github.com/gutschilla/elixir-pdf-generator
I am not aware of Jasper-like BI tools available in Elixir and I really doubt there will be one without major player open sourcing it.
However, with the tool like html->pdf renderer you can reuse quite a lot of your Phoenix contexts business logic and have report-specific markup.
I have plenty of experience of rending PDF out of HTML in microservice-based / SPA apps and I must say doing so from Elixir app/cluster will be much better.
