How to show/hide a column at runtime?

by

In later version (v5 or above) of jasper reports you can use the jr:table component and truly achieve this (without the use of java code as using dynamic-jasper or dynamic-reports).

The method is using a <printWhenExpression/> under the <jr:column/>

Example

Sample Data

+----------------+--------+
|      User      |  Rep   |
+----------------+--------+
| Jon Skeet      | 854503 |
| Darin Dimitrov | 652133 |
| BalusC         | 639753 |
| Hans Passant   | 616871 |
| Me             |   6487 |
+----------------+--------+

Sample jrxml

Note: the parameter $P{displayRecordNumber} and the <printWhenExpression> under first jr:column

        </band>
    </title>
</jasperReport>

Output with $P{displayRecordNumber}=true

true

Output with $P{displayRecordNumber}=false

false

As you can see the columns adapts nicely on the basis of which are displayed.
