I have an creating a compound excel report.I have the below issue when creating it.
I have been researching in the forum as well as using the documentation to tackle the issues.But still it is not behaving as its says.

I have 4 tabular reports in Page 1 of the compound report.
I have used the below trick to display it in the same worksheet.

   
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX OPEN NOBREAK -- First Tabular Report
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX NOBREAK       -- Second Tabular Report
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX NOBREAK       -- Third Tabular Report
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX               -- Fourth Tabular Report

These 4 reports displays in one worksheet.I am good here.

I have to display two charts too below these 4 reports.But i learned that charts will occupy right top corner if i try to display charts in the same worksheet.
So i made a compromise and decided to display charts in next worksheet.

   
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX NOBREAK -- First Chart
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX               -- Second Chart

These two charts displays in second worksheet.

I have problem when i try to display a report in the third worksheet.

When i use the below code :

   
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX NOBREAK -- First Tabular Report in 3rd worksheet

The report appears in the 2nd worksheet itself and displays underneath the first graph.
I tried to give CLOSE as it is the last report like below

   
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX CLOSE

But still the same result.

As per the documentation,since i am not using NOBREAK in the the Second chart, the next report shud come in the next worksheet.but it is not happening.
I am not sure why it is happening.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
I was able to replicate the issue you are facing.

The graphs that you are trying to export to Excel is what is causing the issue. There is not straight forward solution to your problem.

Some of the options you could explore are :

Using Excel Template and create the Graph once the data is exported.
Change the sequence if that is possible. So have you Graphs as the last sheet in you compound report and it will work as expected.

All the best!!

Yes.Currently i display all graphs as the last worksheet.But some of the report and graphs go together.I couldn't find any solution to this issue from the forum as well.
I will have to negotiate with client,i guess.

Thanks.

This is not an ideal solution, but thought I would share as it may give you some ideas. When the graph is created, I replace "ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX" with "ON GRAPH HOLD AS HOLDG01 FORMAT GIF" and then display the GIF image in XLSX.

I've opened a case for this last year. The workaround I use at this moment is to make a very large header in the report and put the graphs first

 
GRAPH FILE..
END

TABLE FILE
HEADING
""
""
""
etc.
END
 

Hi Joanna,

When i ran the code you posted ,i can see that the reports are displaying one below the other and the graph container is placed at the last ,but is see the message "GIF output is not supported by the JVM in headless mode" in the graph container..
Never encountered this error.
But it looks like GIF output format is not supported.
I tried PNG,JPEG,but no luck.

Any idea what it could be?

@Frans, That is a good idea.I can use that in one of my worksheet.

I have another worksheet where i need to put a report and then graphs below report for which i need to find another solution.
