Break text into new line

Hi Friends,

What is the command required to break text into multiple lines in a Dashboard.

  • Hi @Sravan_Kumar!

    For Mac Os X I use control + option + enter. I think in Windows it can be cntrl + alt + enter or similar combination.

    On Classic Dashboards,  yes it is Ctrl+ Alt + Enter for Windows as @AntonMineev mentioned. In New UX it can be done thru Field Cards with multiple lines enabled.

  • If you are looking how to have a line break within text you are building,you'll need to include line break characters, CR being the obvious choice:

     

    CR (character : \r, Unicode : U+000D, ASCII : 13, hex : 0x0d) : This is simply the 'r' character. This character is commonly known as ‘Carriage Return’.

     

    meaning you can include "you text \r next line"

  • @Sravan_Kumar to gain more idea on your query. Can you share some data on what is at present and what is required to be?

  • Hey @nathan_rudman , could you please specify how I can use this in TEXTLIST formula?

     

    I am trying to combine lists and want to have a new line after each list item.

     

    Thank you in advance,

  • I know this is an old thread, but this information is now in Anapedia on the page that documents keyboard shortcuts in Anaplan.

     

    From that page:

    You can't use it in Textlist formula. Anaplan doesn't recognise "\r" as line break when it is used in the text. For example:- Text_LineItem = "Hi, \r How are you?"

    You will see it as Hi, \r How are you? in the cell, even if you use & "\r".

  • Exactly. Do you know any workaround here?

  • @SuhasDesai 

    I may. Share the end result (intended) and the source module in a picture.

  • The use case is we want populate 2 or more items in Card. One item in one line.

  • @SuhasDesai 

    I think it isn't doable in Anaplan. If you have observed that data in cells are shown as one single line in modules, that is how Anaplan ignores line break.
