Hello Suriya,

While there are several ways to accomplish a multi-line text output with many data-bound fields inside a single TextBox, probably the simplest and the most straightforward approach is to use embedded expressions, which are new to the Q1 2009 release. With embedded expressions you can achieve fairly easy a mail merge like functionality in your reports. Just enter the desired text in the Expression Editor dialog, and enclose all your data-bound expressions in curly brackets, like this: "Some text {some expression}". You can add line breaks in the text using the Ctrl+Enter key combination. For further reading about the embedded expression you can refer to our online documentation. I have also attached a small test report that illustrates the usage of embedded expression to output a multi-line text within a single text box.

Hi Siva,

Please make sure that you input the HTML code in the Html view and not in the Design view. By default the HtmlTextBox editor starts in the Design view where you enter text and format it using the provided tools; switching to the Html view (the button is situated in the upper left part of the expression builder) you can edit the markup.
 
All the best,

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to do this? I want all of my data in one textbox and I want to use a new line for each line that I need on a new line. However, If a field is empty I don't want a blank space in the textbox I want the next field to go there.
This is my expression so far. The field CompanyName2 is "" so I want the field CompanyAddr1 to display in it's place. I need to be able to use the IIf() function.

=IIf(Fields.CompanyName2 <> "", Fields.CompanyName2, "")+"
"+Fields.CompanyAddr1 + "  " + Fields.CompanyAddr2+"
"+Fields.CompanyCity + ", " + Fields.CompanyState + ". " + Substr(Fields.CompanyZip,0,5)+"
"+"Phone: " + Fields.CompanyPhone + " " + IIf(Trim(Fields.CompanyFax) <> "(___) ___-____", " Fax: " + Fields.CompanyFax, "")+"
"+"Email: " + Fields.CompanyEmail + " " + IIf(Fields.CompanyWebSite <> "", "Web: " + Fields.CompanyWebSite, "")

Thank you,
Mark

Hi Mark,

There are two options that I can think of right now:

1. Use the HtmlTextBox to insert a new line for each line that you need. You can insert it conditionally, by checking if the Fields.MyField is Null with the Iif function.
2. Place multiple TextBox items in a column. Then check if the field displayed in a TextBox is Null. If it is, hide the TextBox item using Conditional Formatting. The TextBoxes below will take up the empty space left by the hidden one.
