Summary takes up space ... [solved]

[hovendal]

Hi All,

I am designing a report which consist of a master report with 3 nested subreports:

• Master
  • Buildings
    • Floors
      • Rooms

So for each building every floor is printed, and for each floor every room is printed. At the end of each subreport there is a summary summing up the total area of the rooms. So in the rooms subreport there is a summary for the current floor. In floors subreport there is a summary for the current building, and in the building subreport theres is a summary of everything.

If for instance there is only one building, there is no need to print the "Bulding total" summary - since this will be the same as the "Total summary". Which is why this element has a printWhenExpression to only be printed when the number of buildings > 1.

My problem occurs when this is true, and the "building summary" is not printed. Even though it is not printed it takes up space so the "total summary" is moved that space down the page.

Can this be avoided in anyway and how?

 

Thank you for all for helping!

Why have I not seen isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true" :)
