The Text report element has an option to display the text as HTML. Within there, an expression can exist within the VALUE-OF tags. Something like the attached image. 
 
Hope that helps,

Hi, 
 
Thanks for your response. 
 
I am sorry I did not mention that I am using dataset to get the data and am using table. 
 
Here is current expression looks like 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>var val;
if(dataSetRow["PLAN"] != null){
val = dataSetRow["PLAN"];
}
else{
val="None Reported";
}
val;
</pre>
 
Thanks for your help in advance.

where did you put this expression?
On the data item?

You can switch display type of dynamic text (i m assuming that the expression is in a dynamic text) to HTML. Just click on the dynamic text item and have a look at the general section of the property editor.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick response I put that expression in data element not the dynamic text.

From all i know a data element can't be changed to interpret HTML.
You need to do it using a Text (as mentioned before) or a dynamic text.
Just put a dynamic text in the same cell as the original data item and set it's value to row["..."]
Remove the data element (it is required in the data binding so do not remove it from the bindings) afterwards.

Hi,

Thanks I have fixed it by changing data element to dynamic text.
