Hi guys. 

Does anyone know how I can get text to wrap in excel, after designing a report in Acumatica Report Designer, It wraps when I export to pdf, but not in excel. All relevant settings such as “Wrap Text” is set to true, but the lines wont break in excel, it appears as one straight line. 
Does anyone know how to assist please?

  • For text boxes or controls that should expand vertically to display the entire wrapped content, ensure the CanGrow property is set to True. This property allows the control to automatically adjust its height to fit the content.

    ​@ChloeSimon51 Can you please confirm if Excel Mode set to Manual on this report or not? If it is manual test with Auto and verify the results.
