carriage return/end line function in text box?

stevelord — Wed, 18 Mar 2015 20:58:02 GMT

Hi, I'm inserting a bit of text into a pie chart using presentation->text in chart so the text can stay on the same layer as the chart when I put it in a container with other charts. The words don't wrap when I resize it, so I need a '&chr()&' or some other bit like that where I want the carriage return or end of the lines.

I recall asking a long time ago, but can't find the solution. I recall someone advising a different character was preferable to carriage return for some reason, but I'll take whatever does the trick. Thanks!

Thanks, I had googled and seen Chr(9) on some list which didn't work. Chr(10) works like a charm. (My interim workaround had been to stack a few 1-line text boxes.)

Both chr(10) and chr(13) works in QlikView while developing the dashboard but when deployed and accessed online in a web browser none of them work!

Same as tricks like:

'line1' & '

' & 'line2'
