Next line in thex object

Hi,

Is there a way to jump a line in a text object. I have tried '\n' it doesn't work.

Thanks,

Try this as the expression in the text box:

='The first line.'&chr(13)&'The second line.'

I would use line feed instead of carriage return:

='The first line.'&chr(10)&'The second line.'

QlikTech also uses line feed in their demo dashboards.

Thanks, it works.

Could you tell me where to find this kind of syntax in the QV doc, I can't find it...

Thanks anyway,

Hi,

QV also recognizes a linefeed, if you literally type it:

"This is expression one

and now comes text 2" or you may combine two calculations with

& '

' &

Regarding "this kind of syntax in the QV doc" - see the chr() function. And, you need to know the ASCII codes for CR (carriage return, decimal 13) an d LF (line feed, decimal 10), but this is not from QV.
