Carriage Return in Annotation data on Cube View

Hi All

Does anyone know how to add a carriage return in Annotation text (if it's possible)? We have a Cube View with an annotation member that displays data. Currently the annotation text can take up most of the screen on some rows and it would be really useful to be able to enter a carriage return. I have tried Environment.NewLine, vbCrLf, \r\n, <br>

    Hi Marcus,

    I do not think this is possible in a cube view directly. If you right-click the cell and then open "Data Attachments for Selected Cell", you should see your line breaks under Text.

      Thank you for the suggestion Henning - the client thinks it's too awkward for the users.

        Yes, it is a bit cumbersome if required for more then a few cells.

        As I think you like to test things, did you try if line break can be displayed in a grid view? I did not try that one yet and did not find any information on that either.
