Charts Not Appearing in Excel Export¶

When exporting a report to Excel, JasperReports Server usually removes images that decorate the report and that do not fit in the Excel data-centric layout. However, JasperReports Server also converts any charts to images and uses the special property net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.ignore.graphics set to false to make the image appear. If your report does not set this property explicitly, the chart images do no appear in your reports when exported to Excel.

If you have a lot of reports with this issue, you can set the property on the server:

Charts Images in Excel Export
Configuration File
`.../WEB-INF/classes/jasperreports.properties`
Property	Description
`net.sf.jasperreports.` `export.xls.ignore.graphics`	By default, this property is set to `true`; in this case, images and chart images from the report do not appear when exported to Excel. Set this property to `false` to make chart images appear in Excel exports.
