On the other-hand if you set the width larger than the expected width the auto-fit does not work so it is not a full proof solution. So if your end user does require exporting to PDF then you are up the creek without a paddle and so you have to find the ideal width to set the column to that works both in preview and thus PDF layout and also browser layout. In my initial testing I had a further column namely a comments column that I left at the default setting, that is a fixed width and CanGrow=True and the comments were most of the time longer than the column that I wanted to auto-fit so in most cases exporting to PDF was ok, but as soon as I hid the comments column I noticed the flaw in the solution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319948952957110606.post-14451546767431987372014-12-02T18:02:37.077-08:002014-12-02T18:02:37.077-08:00I tried this and I initially had no success (using...I tried this and I initially had no success (using the instructions pointed out by lala's second comment above - i.e. you essentially click the cell twice so that the whole expression is highlighted then if you right click you should get from the popup menu either Create Placeholder or Place Holder Properties) however I realised the point from the author of the post above: "PPS. Keep in mind - this works ONLY in web browser" i.e. it does not work in Report Builder. After realising this I ran it and it did change the width however on my first page it was out by one character so I used for my expression =”<DIV>” & Replace(Fields!YourField.Value," "," ") & “ </DIV>”, i.e. a normal space before my closing div tag and seem to work.
