i am using birt 3.6.0 and if i am placing this table inside the detail then its repeating the same table as many times as detail value is there.

Can you recreate your issue in a way that I can run it and post it in here? This way I can see exactly what you're doing and test on that report. Thanks!

What output is having the vertical align issue? PDF? Or all of them?

I don't see a way to get a BIRT list to have a vertical alignment of "top". You might have to design a newspaper style report, like can be found in the download in this devShare post:

Thanks for reply.

But in the NewspaperLayout number of table is fixed only two or some more ..but for my case tables will be dynamic...each table showing detail of each employee . i.e. how many succesors that employee have and all the details... so if there is only two employee then it will display only two table and so on.

one more thing ..suppose in one table detail some employee are there some of them can be male and some will be female and there is a column name gender which indicates the type M or F ..can we count how many males are there and how many females are there using script.

how to do that.

Thanks

i managed to do this..by taking aggregation field and applying condition on that...

Rajesh kmr

but in the image above that is horizontal..if some table is repeating which are exactly same..
and that is repeating that many times as many detail value is there for that table.

then how to eliminate that tables which are duplicate...please give me some solution.

in this project i am using flat file as data source ..so i am not able to take distinct value. and that why that tables are repeating ..

so solution is that either we have to take distinct value from file's data set or we have to write some condition so that we can suppress the duplicate tables..

but i don'n know how to do both the cases.

please find some solution.

Thanks

Is there a way you could send me a report with your current set up and a flat file of sample data I can use to run it? This way I can see exactly what you're trying to do. Thanks!
