My expression is taking a dollar amount from the database and storing it into a variable or taking the variable and adding a dollar amount to it before updating the variable based on some other fields criteria, and then displaying the variable in the textbox.
It seems that the variable is being rounded to the whole number but still displaying two decimal points. How to keep variable from being rounded?
=IF(Fields!APBAC_AMOUNT.Value > 0 And Fields!APBAC_TYPE.Value = "AP" Or Fields!APBAC_TYPE.Value = "BD", Variables!rptBalance.setValue(Variables!rptBalance.Value + Fields!AMOUNTRECEIVED.Value) And Variables!rptBalance.Value, Variables!rptBalance.setValue(Fields!APBAC_BALANCE.Value) AND Fields!APBAC_BALANCE.Value)

In one of my columns in SSRS, I have the expression as
=ROUND(Fields!Contribution_Margin_.Value,5) & "%"
As you can see I am hardcoding the percent symbol after rounding off the value till decimals. But the issue is that the user wants to see only 2 decimals in the SSRS report and when he export it to excel he want 5 decimals while clicking on that particular cell.
So I went into Text box properties and in the Number section, I rounded off to 2 but it is not happening as I am having the "%" symbol, in the end, so after this also it is giving me till 5 decimals in the report.
Any solution how to make it to 2 decimal places in SSRS.
Don't mix value and display - leave the value as is (instead of turning the Value property into a string with the format hard coded into it, thereby losing precision and type) and use the display properties to show that value in the precision required.
Make the cell value just be the field value: Fields!Contribution_Margin_.Value. This allows it to be exported as a number rather than text.
Set the Format property of the cell to display percentage to two decimal places: p2
When exported to Excel, the full field value will be there and the client can format it to 5 decimal places.
I have a column in which for all the values of column I need the percentage symbol in the end. So what should I put in the expression for this.
Like currently I have in the expression ->
=Fields!Contribution_Margin_.Value
To get this '%' symbol in the end what should I do? All the calculations I have done at the backend so only the symbol is required.
If your column is a decimal number that represents the percentage you can just use the format function to format the number:
=format(Fields!Contribution_Margin_.Value,"0%")
Or if you want to keep the value as a number within the report, you can set the Format number property of wherever it is displayed:
It depends on how the number is stored.
Let's say you have a value that needs to be shown as 12.5%
If the value stored in your dataset is actually 0.125 (this is the correct way) then all you need to do is set the format property of the textbox to p1. The means "format as percentage to 1 decimal place"
If your dataset value is actually 12.5 then you can set the format property to something like
0.0 "%" to show to 1 decimal place or
0.00 "%" to show to two decimal places etc.
Alternatively you could just divide the value by 100 to get back to a "proper" percentage value and use the standard formatting codes as shown in the first example.
If all you need is to add % symbol; just add the % symbol in the same textbox as your placeholder, not in your expression.
I have created a SSRS report. In this report I am using 2 datasets (DataSet1, DataSet2). DataSet1 is the table with all the actual dollar amount charged to the client. Dataset2 is has another dollar amount which is the base amount. Everything is working great except I cannot get the amounts from DataSet2 to have a "$" or 1000 separator. I have already tried making the setting to "currency" and "1000 separator" in the placeholder properties, but that did not work. I think this is due to using 2 datasets. I am using the below expression:
=join(Lookupset(Fields!size_code.Value,Fields!s_size_code.Value,Fields!s_tech_amount.Value, "DataSet2"),",")
I am having difficulty figuring out how to set this number to currency with 1000 separator in the expression for my DataSet2 numbers. The DataSet1 numbers are working perfectly with the currency and 1000 separator that were set in the placeholder properties. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Your posted expression is returning a string value that consists of the concatenated (join does NOT sum) values of Fields!s_tech_amount from the LookupSet.
The currency formatting can not be applied to a string value.
You can look up how to sum up the values from a LookupSet here.
The currency formatting is only applied to numeric data types.
I have a form where in need to calculate sum of multiple text boxes.
example: i have two text boxes A=10.15 and B= 15.60. I want to sum their values in text box 'c'. I tried using the sum function but results in '#Error' and '+' which appends the two values '10.1515.60'.
Any Suggestions???
Thank you
Tried this =Val[TextBoxA.value]+Val[TextBoxB.value]
it works, when I try to sum two textboxes in another textbox, at first Access concatenated the values but with this formula access let you sum both values.
Set the Control Source of textbox C (without the quotes).
'=[TextBoxA]+[TextBoxB]'
Make sure the textbox format is Number. Leaving it blank concatenates the values.
The SUM function is for totaling the values in the same field, across multiple records.
To calculate the total of two textboxes, set the Control Source property of textbox C to the following (include the = sign)
= NZ([A],0) + NZ([B],0)
The NZ function gracefully handles NULLS by changing them to 0.
Note that textbox C will be unbound, so the sum will not be stored in your table (but it is not a good practice to store calculations, so that should be OK).
I have a form that asks the user to enter some information into text boxes, then some VBA code that manipulates those values and enters them into a table.
One of these text boxes asks for a numeric serial number. This serial number value could be four or five digits in length, and it may contain one or more leading zero(s). e.g. 0001 or 00758 or 0463.
Once the VBA code enters this value into the table, it loops through it, increments it, and makes another entry. This repeats until all the serial numbers are added to the table. I have the serial number value taken from the text box declared as a string in my code, but it still drops my leading zeros.
I've had similar problems, using CStr() to force a string fixed it for me. So, something like: sMyString = CStr(vUserValue) instead of sMyString = vUserValue.
Also, you might be dropping the zeros when you increment the number. You can re-add them with something like: sMyString = String(5-len(sMyString),"0") & sMyString where 5 is the original number of digits.
sMyString = String(5-len(sMyString),"0") & sMyString
