Indenting wrapped text
-
This one is probably very simple, but I'm not sure. I am using SSRS 2005, and I already have a custom assembly being used in the report, but I'm hoping I won't have to use it for this.
In a table, a list of company names is being returned in a single column. Some of them are pretty long, so they wrap to the next line. If this happens I would to indent the next line. So, it should look like the following:
Company Name
Company A
Company B with a
     really long name
Company C
Anybody know an easy way to do this?

You could check the length of the text and if over a certain length insert a hyphen, line feed and a few spaces.

Any solution to this issue? I also need to find some way to "hang indent" the contents of a textbox.

Not the most elegent code, but this has been working for me. In my case, there can only be 1 line below the first line. It would need slight modification if there could be x number of lines that needed to be indented.
=IIF(LEN(Fields!Name.Value) > 10,
LEFT(Fields!Name.Value, 10) & VBCRLF & Space(5) & Mid(Fields!Name.Value, 11, LEN(Fields!Name.Value))
,Fields!Name.Value)

Thanks so much! This is a great start.

I realize this post is really old and I don't have SSRS 2005 to test, but in 2008 this is how I was able to accomplish.
Use a negative Hanging Indent in the text box properties. In the example below I used -10pt
Now my notes that wrap lines are indented.
