Fill a table verticly

Hello folks,

I was wondering if it would be possible to fill a table veritcly? I am sitting with an XML that I am to transform into a report and my issue is that I dont know how many columns there will be beforehand so I would like to be able to fill the table column by column.

I have tried to solve it with subreports but it doesnt come out nice. I have 3 subreports, first one have 7 columns in it and a call to one subreport. That have one textfield (because the title needs to be higher then the other text fields) and a call to my last subreport which just prints the values I have. Can this be simplyfied? (For instance programaticly set the height on a textfield if a parameter is true?)
My information is like

<columns>
   <column id="0">
      <title>Title1</title>
      <value>Value</value>
      <value>Value</value>
      ...
   </column>
   <column id="1">
   ...
   </column>
</columns>

Any help would be much appreciated :)
