How to increase Detail band height dynamically

Question

My requirement is to increase the Detail band height dynamically when the text field has more data. Are there any settings to increase to it?
I am using one textField

Answer 1

Try setting the text field and surround object to Position Type Float in the object's properties.

This should let the report expand as the text field grows.

Answer 2

First select your field and set following properties (third one is most important):

1. Position type: float
2. Stretch type: relative to tallest object
3. Stretch with overflow: true (checked)

Answer 3

Go to Report level properties. Advanced - Set the Column count and then Print order as Horizontal
