Page break a crosstab cell/row across multiple pages

[steven.song]

Hello,

We are trying to create a report using crosstabs in Jaspersoft Studio - we are on 7.1

The issue we are facing is that some of our crosstab column header cells exceed the length of a page.

As a result this stretches the page of the report (which we do not want as it needs to be printable). If we unselect "Ignore Pagination" we get an infinite loop error.

Is there a way to split the row/cells so that the contents are distributed over multiple page?

On the Crosstab options

• Repeat Column Headers = true
• Repeat Row Headers = true
• Ignore Width = False

The first 2 options should take care of repeating headers and the Ignore width takes care of the page size issue (it keeps the crosstab inside the page bounds).

Thanks reportdev, I just tried that, and it had no  effect on the page  size.  I should correct the OP (who is on my team.)  It's the detail GroupCell which contains text,  and which is stretching the page size.  If I turn on 'Ignore Pagination' then I get an error message ''Crosstab has not printed anything on 3 consecutive pages, likely infinite loop'
