Hi,
I have an excel file that contains articles which may be part of several categories. In the excel file, this is displayed via a column 'categories' that may contain a value such as "category1,category2,category3"
e.g.
Article 1 - pigeons,cats,dogs - description - price
Article 2 - dogs,poultry - description - price
Now, I want to create a report that groups on 'category'. so an article that belongs to category 1 and category 2 should be printed twice in the report.
So Article1 should be printed 3 times. Once in group pigeons, once in group cats and once in group dogs.
What's the best way to create a report where a record should be printed multiple times?
The best thing I can come up with, is
a- modify the excel file so that article is duplicated x times for each category it belongs to
b- create a report with as many subreports as there are categories, and per subreport, apply a condtion so that a record is only printed if it belongs to that category
Or does jasperstudio allow to do this without creating subreports?
