Build Identifier: BIRT 2.5.2.v20100210-0630 [BIRT 2.5.2] - While building the cross tab element (Tried with Excel Report fromat), What ever width I am assigninng to the dynamic column ..it always fits to the width of the Page (Master Page width). As a result of which if page width is defined lesser than the actual required ..individual column width gets shrinked & if moe then it expands. How can we contol the width as per the choice. How ever I have noticed that this issue was more or less in the earlier version 2.2.2 too... But I had a work around of using grids with 2 columns & putting the cross tab in the first column. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a simple cross tab. 2.Set the columns width individually. 3.Case 1 : Set the page width higher than actually occuied (column width*no of columns) - result : Column width will be expanded than actual given 4.Case 2 : Set the page width higher than actually occupied (column width*no of columns) - result : Column width will be compressed than actual given (#### can be seen) Remarks : When the cross tab is meant for data based dynamic number of columns , why is this dependednt on page width ?? This restricts the cross tab purpose.
In 2.6.2, for auto-layout report, top level items will be extended even if it exceeds the width of page.

(In reply to comment #1) > In 2.6.2, for auto-layout report, top level items will be extended even if it > exceeds the width of page. Thanks for your input .. Is there any work around that can be used in BIRT 2.5.2 ? I doubt I shall be able to use BIRT 2.6.2 immediately.
No, there is no workaround for 2.5.2. Please try to upgrade to 2.6.2.
Crosstab Format testing Case 1 - Layout : Auto Layout 1.1 : When Individual column width not set - Result : If the page width is not sufficient then the data gettign wrapped & not getting auto extended as mentioned by you earlier. 1.2 : When Individual column width has been set Result : a.) if page width is too less then table & workbook error come while opening the file. b.) If page width is normal but less than actual required then its cutting the extra data & same is not shown at all--> this is critical as we have loss of data. Case 2 - Layout : Fixed Layout 2.1 : When Individual column width not set - Result : If the page width is not sufficient then the data gettign wrapped & not getting auto extended as mentioned by you earlier. 2.2 : When Individual column width has been set Result : a.) if page width is too less then table & workbook error come while opening the file. b.) If page width is normal but less than actual required then its cutting the extra data & same is not shown at all--> this is critical as we have loss of data.
Adding the build for your reference : 2.6.2.v20110219-1842
(In reply to comment #5) > Adding the build for your reference : 2.6.2.v20110219-1842 Would you please attach a sample report for Case1(autolayout), senario 1.2 (b): b.) If page width is normal but less than actual required then its cutting the extra data & same is not shown at all--> this is critical as we have loss of data. I can not reproduce this issue in 2.6.2.
Set as worksforme as I can not reproduce any of the case listed in comment 4. Please feel free to reopen if sample reports can be attached.
