Hi,
In this post you can learn how to get Expand and Collapse options when exporting a grouped by data excel report.
Steps :
1) Design report as follows
Group Header ($F{city})
Detail (some fields)
Group Footer (Dummy Text field with 0 height).
(Click on image to get the best view)
![]()
2) Apply Body property to the fields that you keep in Detail Band
net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.row.outline.level.1=Body
(click on Image to get the best of content)
![]()
3) Apply End property to the dummy field that you keep in Footer band.
net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.row.outline.level.1=END
(Click on image to get the best view)
![]()
4) Sample Excel outputs
(Collapsed Stage)
![]()
A group expansion stage :
![]()
