title: "Setting Style for Empty Cells"
---


{{% alert color="primary" %}}

When a positioned table is filled by information from a datasource, some cells may be left empty (not filled) and these empty cells are associated with a default style (with font size=1pt, etc). This can be changed by redefining style for such cells. First, create some style in Styles sub-tree (in iReport Designer). Then use following parameter to associate this style with empty cells in positioned table:

{{% /alert %}}

In JasperReports:

**Java**

{{< highlight csharp >}}
   import com.aspose.words.jasperreports.*;
   AWDocExporter exporter = new AWDocExporter();
   exporter.setParameter(AWExporterParameter.POSITIONED_STYLE, "EmptyStyle");
   exporter.exportReport();
{{< /highlight >}}

In JasperServer:

**XML**

{{< highlight csharp >}}
<bean id="aw_exportParameters" class="com.aspose.words.jasperreports.AWExportParametersBean">
    <property name="positionedStyle" value="EmptyStyle"/>
</bean>
{{< /highlight >}}
