Hello Lanka,

I set the status of the item to Declined because I feel that perhaps you intended to open a support ticket instead?

Also, there is already a way to use such functionality.

Basically, you can use the Len() function to check how long the text in the given field is, then if it is too much for the column's width(how much is too much depends on how wide your columns are) and if it the length is too big, you can use the Substr() function to return a substring of the given field that you can then concatenate with the "..." indicator and this should achieve the desired effect. For example, the following expression could be used:

= Len(Fields.Data) > 5 ? Substr(Fields.Data,0,4) + "..." : Fields.Data  

But of course, the length check and the substring size will depend on your column width size.

For more information, see Text Functions.

I have attached a sample report demonstrating this approach, please check it out.

If you have any other questions or need further help, I suggest creating a support ticket or a forum post and continuing the discussion there.

Regards,
Dimitar
