New options required in RS

Hi. Hope this reaches the RS development team.
I would like to know if in the new releases of RS there will be
expressions as there are in the DTS visual studio.
For example in the fields of width, height..at the moment we have to
put a fixed width and height whereas we could use the expressions.
Sometimes customers request double spacing instead of single space btw
records.
In addition to that, i need extra options in the matrix such as:
the ability to add fields to the right of the matrix column, (static
fields) that are not related to the matrix's expansion. The result
would be the possibility of having static columns at the left and right
of the matrix...what an improvement it would be.
Also, right now we are unable to add headers to the fields preceeding
the matrix column. This would be a of great help in explaining the
content of these fields. Right now i'm creating labels and placing them
on top of the matrix but it's not legitimate in a way when i export to
excel they are misplaced.
Thanks
Christinato add to this Allow the Duplicate Data in the Group Field so it can be
exported to excel and sorted :)

New line in column?

Is it possible?

New Lines in Expressions
Previously, expressions had to be contained on a single line. With
SP1, expressions can include a newline character. New line characters
include carriage return (CR), line feed (LF), carriage return and
line feed (CRLF), paragraph separator (Unicode 2029), and line
separator (Unicode 2028). The newline characters are replaced with a
space when the report is processed.
But I can't use it.
Please help me!

The first item, in the examples, is the textbox expression/value while the
second is how it should render. Hopefully these will point you the right
direction for using VB constants in expressions.
Example 1
--
="The brown fox jumped" & vbcrlf & "over the fence
The brown fox jumped
over the fence
Example 2
--
The brown fox jumped
over the fence
The brown fox jumped
over the fence
Example 3
--
="The brown fox jumped" &
" over the fence"
The brown fox jumped over the fence
