JasperReports export to excel auto size columns

Question

I have a problems with JRXlsExporter. Autofit properties not work correctly. Here is my jrxml:

Answer 1

The following properties do not work on Report Level:

<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.auto.fit.row" value="true"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.auto.fit.column" value="true"/>

You have to put them on Report Elements (i.e.):

        <staticText>
            <reportElement x="0" y="100" width="100" height="20">
                <property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.auto.fit.row" value="true"/>
                <property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.auto.fit.column" value="true"/>
            </reportElement>
            <textElement/>
            <text><![CDATA[Your Static Text]]></text>
        </staticText>

Also I'd recommend you to try using net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.column.width property, which is more useful. Reference: http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/config.reference.html
