I've been diving into SSRS after seeing Ryan and Paul's great presentations at the conference. I'm hoping someone can help me with a bit of formatting. Taking some tips from Paul's powerpoint, I've got a cell with this express:
="Totals for " & Fields!prod_desc.Value &":"
prod_desc is a show title. I'd like to italicize just that part of the expression. Any tips?
thanks
Brian
Thanks Marty, great info.
One question: I had a placeholder that had two parts to it so I had added a carriage return using ‘vbcrlf’
="Period: " & FormatDateTime(Parameters!Start_Date.Value,DateFormat.ShortDate) & " to " & FormatDateTime(Parameters!End_date.Value,DateFormat.ShortDate) & vbcrlf & "Portfolio: " & Parameters!Portfolio.Value
As soon as I switched the placeholder properties to HTML the carriage return stopped working. Does anyone know if there is a way to have this work with HTML switched on?

Don't know if it will work or not but try
="Totals for " & "<i>" & Fields!prod_desc.Value & "</i>" & ":"
Plus I think it may only work in SSRS 2008
