How can I make a Table with that structure?

[guillaumeharvey8]

Hi, I just started using jaspersoft Studio and I'm unable to achieve the structure I need for my report. The Datasource I use contains an ArrayList of HouseholdInfo, which contains 8 strings (HouseholdId, householdAddress, name, address, city, province, postalcode and phone number)

I need the data to be organise in a table in that maner:

Household #1   |  HHAddress

        Name  |   Address   |   City   |    Province   |   Postal Code   |   Phone Number

        Name  |   Address   |   City   |    Province   |   Postal Code   |   Phone Number

        Name  |   Address   |   City   |    Province   |   Postal Code   |   Phone Number

-----------------------------------------------Empty Line-----------------------------------------------

Household #2   |   HHAdsress

        Name  |   Address   |   City   |    Province   |   Postal Code   |   Phone Number

        Name  |   Address   |   City   |    Province   |   Postal Code   |   Phone Number

...........................................................................................................

I tried multiple ways to do it in Jaspersoft Studio but I always end up printing only the household, just the customers or every customer under one household.

Thanks in advance for your help.

you may be able to do this purely with tables:

But a simpler method would be to just create a group in your report, where a group consists of the household name and address, and put your table in the detail band that displays name | address | city etc etc etc. of the people you're displaying for each household. Japser has a wizard built in when you create a new report where you can define both the query and the groups, and it will generate the code to reflect that structure
