Number display as # in generated Excel file

Question

I have an Excel file generated by JasperReports . What you can see here is the Excel 's column will be display ### if the number is too long. I don't want to resize the width of column, i just want to display the number without seen as ### and stretch the height. I have tried set the column to Stretch with overflow and Stretch type = Relative to band height

This is the screenshot:

You will need to set the appropriate Jasper Reports excel property on your report element, or on the whole report iself. Documentation: http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/sample.reference/xlsfeatures/

Specifically

net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.column.width.ratio

If these properties are not available in your JasperReports version, you may have to simply fiddle around with the sizing to get something decent.
