I just ended up making the field 1px tall. I had it expand when filled. Doing this on fields that may not exist made it fill out better and gave me more control, but its obviously a hack. I hope they can make the report generation more intelligent in the future!

I am not sure what all you have done besides create a group but I will mention some things that might help. You said you created a group so you have created a group. I will call this account_group. This automatically creates a variable for you called account_group_COUNT as a variable but that is not what you are interested in here. You can create a new variable (account_group_SUM) for yourself under the variables. In this you set these: variable class: BigDecimal calculation: sum reset type: group reset group: account_group increment type: None (I think this is correct here) increment group: (leave blank) variable expression: here I think you put $V{account_group_SUM}.add($F{debt}) to add up your values. You might have to tinker with this more since I haven't messed with this in awhile. initial value expression: BigDecimal.ZERO should work here After adding that variable you should be able to put it as a field into the footer as you expect.

I am curious. Do you have a title band on your main report? It seems that jasper reports is removing twice as much space from the first page than what is needed. The 'extra' space seems to be exactly the size given to the title band.

I am having the same issue with version 3.7.1. To my understanding it should follow the java.text.SimpleDateFormat standard and I should be able to use MM/dd in the field. It is not an expression so I wouldn't expect to use quotes ("MM/dd") but I did try that as well. I am not sure how this mask is supposed to work or if it is working. edit: note that I got around the issue by bringing in the date as a string formatted how I wanted instead of having jasper do it. Not optimal but I got what I needed working :/ It seems like color and tick marks don't seem to be working for the category axis as well. These all work for the vertical axis.
