Hi
When there is only 1 small attribute (say name or date) in detail section it's not very efficent to repeat the whole row for each item (most of the row would be blank).
It would rather by nice to repeat the items "inline" or in principle have the items concated to a larger textbox. Right now I have been able to do it (the concatenation) upfront customising the data preparation. Maybe that is possible out of the box in reporting? Thank you.

Hi Raido,
If we understand your inquiry correctly, you want to show detail items in columns to use all available space. This is possible by using the ColumnCount property - more info is available here and also in our ProductTags demo report (it is a single column in html only, exporting to other formats would properly show multiple columns).
Kind regards,

Hi again
This is allmost what I meant :)
Still - for example people's names can be very of varying width. When I have e.g. 50 names in detail section, I can set them to 3 columns (ColumnCount = 3) ok, but some will still be too long and there'll be a lot of free space.
I would more like to put them into a single large textbox separated with commas. What I could do is I concat them beforehand (in data source) to one field but it would require some extra coding that I would see as overhead.

Hi Raido Valgeväli,
Thanks to the additional explanation - we now understand your needs. However, it is impossible to achieve a similar result with the current implementation of the reporting engine and the only possible workaround is to format your data in a suitable manner beforehand.
