Multi-Column (Avery label) report design

canutri

All,<br />
<br />
I'm using BIRT v2.3.2.2 Report Designer (eclipse) and would like to created a 2-column report for Avery label design. The labels are (apporx) 3/4 x 3-3/4 with 2 columns and about 12 labels per column.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to specify a column break (newspaper style)?<br />
<br />
I found this link: <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/forum/designing-birt-reports/16683-multi-column.html'>http://www.birt-exchange.org/forum/designing-birt-reports/16683-multi-column.html</a><br />
but the columns in the report example are bound to seperate result sets by Office Code.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for the assistance,<br />
<br />

Hi Daron,

All you need to do is create a computed column with an aggregation of running count in your dataSet. Then, in your design, put a 2 column, 1 row grid, put a table in each and use filters on each to alternate the data. You should be able to set the size of the element to match your labels. Let me know if you have issues.
