How to split table when page overflow?

I am displaying data, using two nested tables in order to put the text in the middle of the category. The "Fonction" is in the detail band, with a table displaying the "Modele" values. To put these values in the middle I put a second table in the first one, to print "Ligne", "Taille"...

"Modele" can gather multiple "Ligne", which can be gathered by "Fonction": "Modele" can gather multiple "Ligne", which can be gathered by "Fonction"

This is working fine, until a three lines table reaches the end of page. There, it does not split, and is diplayed on the next page : Here you can see that the "Fonction" reaches the bottom of the page as the detail band expands all the way down, but the first table is not splitted

The three lines table does not split, and prints on the next page

How can I split this table to prevent getting a blank line?

Solution

  • I managed to get this working by using a crosstab with row groups for the first three columns, and the other fields are put in the detail box enter image description here

    You must put these fields into mesures to be able to use them in the crosstab.
