Tip 6: Adding a Line Break in SSRS Expressions Developers use multiple text boxes to show multiline data otherwise a single TextBox can be used with just a line break. The VbCRLf (Visual Basic Carriage Return Line Feed) value can be used to add a line break in expressions.
In Design view, click the text box on the design surface to which you want to add an expression. For a simple expression, type the display text for the expression in the text box. For example, for the dataset field Sales, type [Sales] . For a complex expression, right-click the text box, and select Expression.
Using IIF Function in SSRS We are going to add a new field to the report data set to determine if the Order Year is the Max or Current Year. As shown below, the dataset properties window is opened, and the Fields tab is selected. After clicking Add, at the bottom of the list a new field is added.
To add a lineOn the Insert tab, click Line. On the design surface, click where you want one end of the line, and then click where you want the other end.
UseEnvironment.NewLine instead of vbcrlf
If your placeholder is in html enabled mode then "<br />" will work as a newline
This works for me:
(In Visual Studio)
In the Set expression for: Value box enter your expression like:
="first line of text. Param1 value: " & Parameters!Param1.Value & Environment.NewLine()
& "second line of text. Field value: " & Fields!Field1.Value & Environment.NewLine()
& "third line of text."
You should NOT quote your Environment.NewLine man. Try "Your Text" & Environment.NewLine.
In Order to implement Line Break in SSRS, there are 2 ways
<br/> tag to introduce line break within the expression ="first line of text. Param1 value: " & Parameters!Param1.Value & "<br/>" & Parameters!Param1.Value
="first line of text. Param1 value: " & Parameters!Param1.Value & Environment.NewLine()
& Parameters!Param1.Value
Note:- Always remember to leave a space after every "&" (ampersand) in order to evaluate the expression properly
