<p>Hi, I'm hoping someone can help with this. Google is not turning up much except for a reference to "newspaper" layout coming in an "upcoming" version of BIRT.....in a post from around 2009 or 2010. I can't find anything in the current BIRT on how to do this though. Basically I have a report which should look like the following..........</p><pre class="_prettyXprint">check check check check check checksequence amount sequence amount sequence amount1 $20 6 $20 11 $202 $20 7 $20 12 $203 $20 8 $20 13 $204 $20 9 $20 14 $205 $20 10 $20 15 $20</pre><p>This could spread over 1 or more pages but sometimes is only one column on one page. The closest I found to something that works is hacking it together with a grid and list as per <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='

I never know how many results the dataset will contain because it could be different every time. It's basically a listing of checks going into a deposit for the day and of course that is going to vary widely depending on the day.</p><div> </div>
