If you simply mean that you want to format reporting data received from the server into visual charts or graphs (or tabular / grid format) the answer is yes. Look at the Ext.chart package in the documentation. Other than that, you'd have to provide some details on what you're trying to do.

EDIT: I'm still not 100% clear on what you're asking, but if you already have working grids and you want to display the same data in a different format for reporting, this is certainly possible. However, you would not use the grid directly, you would use the underlying Ext.data.Store and bind it to some other component that can output your report. The most obvious solution that comes to mind would be using a View (previously DataView) to bind your existing store to a custom XTemplate that would generate your report view.

No. You can't create reports with EXTJS. There are tools appropriate for reporting. All of them, server side.

Hope it helps.

You can use a CSS with "media='print'" like this:

< link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/print.css" media="print">

This CSS will be used by the browser only when the user are trying to print the page. Then, you can change the entire style of the page to look like a report.

This is a server side job. Here is what I use for generating tabular reports which are based on Grid data: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/

Also, you can generate a very nice, fully functional Excel spreadsheet from tabular data: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ffice.10).aspx
