Jasper Report Cross Tab Adding Parameter

I am having problem inserting a parameter into the top left hand corner of my jas开发者_运维技巧per report cross tab. I need some "text" at the top left hand corner (seems strange), and although i am quite sure this is not easy or even legal, i would like to check if anyone has attempted something a similar feat.

Try creating a crosstab variable (a measure) whose value is equal to the value of the parameter. Add the representative crosstab measure to the crosstab, rather than the parameter.

Add crosstab header, which you can find in the crosstab layout structure. By default it will be not applied so you have to add it. Then you can add static/text fields, whatever you want at the top left corner in that, and you can properly adjust those elements using free layout property of the crosstab header.
