how to export to excel and csv format in jasper report

Question

i need to export to excel and csv format in jasper reports. for excel i tried by creating custom class (using api)but it is not exporting, the thing is save and cancel p

Answer 1

Use as a JRXlsExporter to export to XSL and a JRCsvExporter for CSV.

There should be no need to create a custom class in most cases.

Edit

The class is stored inside the jar poi-3.5-FINAL-20090928.jar, which should be locate in your "iReportInstallationFolder"\modules\ext\

For me it's C:\Program Files\Jaspersoft\iReport-3.7.4\ireport\modules\ext\

The name could be different but should be poi-3.5-FINAL-*.jar.

Make it is included in your classpath and you should be fine.

You can download the jar from Apache Poi home page.

Here is a link to the jar I have from their site http://archive.apache.org/dist/poi/release/bin/poi-bin-3.5-FINAL-20090928.tar.gz
