How to make a report with two detail tables, the 2nd depending on the first

eurodiego

Hi,
I am pretty new to BIRT, but already made several reports.
This time, I have to make one to be rendered as PDF, that has two tables.
The records shown in the first table, have an id and five fields.
The records shown in the second table, have the same id and another field, different from the ones in the first table.
Each page, must have the same records on each table.
I don't know if I have been clear enough, so I uploaded a sample of a two page report.
Thanks in advance.

What data are you trying to duplicate on each page? What additional data will be added as you move between pages?

eurodiego

The dataset is an xml file.
I can bind it, but it doesn't works as expected.
Here are the results (don't pay attention to repeated data, it is just for this example. the important thing is the "Nro. de Orden" field)

I've attached an example that should work for you. I created two tables. The first is grouped on rows["COUNT"] to simulate the ID in your report. When I created the group I chose interval with a range of 10 and set the page break after to always. Then I merged all three cells of the group footer then added my second table. No grouping was needed on this. Let me know if this example works for you.

You are a genius!
It worked perfectly.

Thank you very, very much.
Cheers...

You're welcome! Let me know if you have any more questions

Another one,
Is it possible to set each table's height fixed, so they will use the same room in the sheet at every page?
This is because it has to be exactly the same format as a pre-printed one.
Thank you again,

Diego

You can set the height and width of the table by selecting that table > property editor > general > height/width

eurodiego

Well, I have already did it that way, but the it seems not to be fixed, as at every page, the same table has it's own height. I've attached the result.

That's ok, I figured it out.<br />
I just used the idea of an example of this forum to add rows at the footer as needed.<br />
The example is in the following link<br />
