I need a little help here. I don't want my output to have line break but I think base on my expression it is doing that. Here's my expression:=iif(Parameters!Location.Value = "10", "10" & Fields!ID.Value & Parameters Location.Value, "NONE")The output seems to look like this:1010010I want it to look like this:1010010Any suggestions? The expression box seems a little small to fit all those in one line. |

It's the size of the field that is causing you the problem, not the size of the expression box. Make sure to select the option on the field to expand to accomodate its contents.Tara |

Tara,After unchecking the can grow property, it's working but somehow it's also cutting section of what it outputs. Any ideas how to get it to work correctly? |

YOu know how I describe earlier that the height is adjusting to fight the content that it is output even though it's only about 10 digits in length.Example how it looks like in textbox:*I1010022*After I uncheck the textbox height "Can increase to accommodate contents" it seems to work as intended, but now a portion is missing.Like this:*I1010That's it. "022*" is missing from that section. Not sure why it's doing this. I can see it if I expand the textbox, but then there's a lot of white space in between the numbers.Example:*I1010................................022*Any suggestions? |

So does your data contain a line break? If you want to remove spaces using T-SQL, check out the REPLACE option.Tara |

OMG!!! Could this be it? You may be right.SELECT ID, DESCRIPTIONFROM ORDERWHERE (LEN(ID) = 3)ORDER BY IDSo for the Replace option, is that within SQL or is that within reporting services? |

When I run that query in query analyzer, it does output lots of blank spaces after what it outputs. Is it possible to use a rtrim to get rid of the spaces in reporting services? |

REPLACE, RTRIM, LTRIM are T-SQL things and not RS. So you'd use these in your stored procedure.Tara |

Got the RTRIM to work in Reporting services. Thanks Tara for pointing that out. |
