I am trying to get the report to show the purchase price which the user enters in a parameter. If the user doesn't enter anything it will say "Undisclosed" otherwise I want it to show the purchase price as currency. I have tried the following:
=IIF(Parameters!PurchasePrice.Value = "", "Undisclosed", Cstr(Format(Parameters!PurchasePrice.Value, "C")))
=IIF(Parameters!PurchasePrice.Value = "", "Undisclosed", Format(Parameters!PurchasePrice.Value, "C"))
=IIF(Parameters!PurchasePrice.Value = "", "Undiscloded", FormatCurrency(Parameters!PurchasePrice.Value,0))
=IIF(Parameters!PurchasePrice.Value = "", "Undiscloded", FormatNumber(Parameters!PurchasePrice.Value,0))
I can get "Undisclosed" to appear but every time I enter a number it shows #Error
You can try the following solution:
=IIF(IsNumeric(Parameters!PurchasePrice.Value), Format(Val(Parameters!PurchasePrice.Value), "C"), "Undisclosed")
I would approach this slightly differently. This will avoid SSRS trying to format a non numeric to a currency. IIF will evaluate both the true and false outcomes even though only one result can be true for each instance.
I would set the textbox that shows the purchase price up as follow...
Set the Value expression to be
=VAL(Parameters!PurchasePrice.Value)
This will return a zero if the parameter value is left as blank/empty string
Then set the Format property of the textbox to
$#.00;-$#.00;Undisclosed
Assuming you want $ as the currency symbol. This format string will format the number to two decimals for positive and negative numbers and prefix the $ symbol but for zero values, it will show the work "Undisclosed"

I have two datasets and want to compare them in an expression.
I would like to do something like this:
=iif(Fields!Grade.Value = "ONGRADE" > LookupSet(Fields!Grade.Value = "ONGRADE", Fields!grade.Value = "ONGRADE" , Fields!grade.Value = "ONGRADE", "Previous3Week"), "UP" ,"DOWN")
This currently returns "Error" within the "ONGRADE" row.
you need to bind your component with one of the datasets and then accordingly you can write following expression :
=iif(Fields!grade.Value > (Fields!grade.Value, "ONGRADE_DataSet2") , "UP", "DOWN")
in this example, the component is binded with the first dataset and the second dataset is getting referred.
This may help.
I came accross a strange problem:
When I use a simple expression like:
=iif(Fields!Length.Value = "", "empty", Fields!Length.Value)
then everything works, and I get my value, or the word "empty" in my report.
If I would change my expression to a sum of 2 times the length, then my "empty" would still appear.
=iif(Fields!Length.Value = "", "empty", (Fields!Length.Value + Fields!Length.Value))
But when I multiply, then my "empty" goes to #Error, While the rest of the data works fine...
=iif(Fields!Length.Value = "", "empty", (Fields!Length.Value * Fields!Length.Value))
Any idea? I find this behavior very, very weird.
Your problem is that IIF evaluates both the true and false results everytime, even if the false result won't be used in the final output. So it's trying to do
'' * ''
when you value is an empty string.
You can fix this by using VAL which will return the numeric value of the string first, like this.
=IIF(Fields!Length.Value = "", "empty", (VAL(Fields!Length.Value) * VAL(Fields!Length.Value)))
I am trying to add an parameter that will allow the user to filter by unit Cost. I.e. If for parameter Unit cost, User select "All Costs", it will not perform any filter and will show all items. However, if for the parameter Unit cost, the user selects "Greater than 0" it would only display items that have unit cost > 0.
I have declared the parameter with two available values "U" and A".
However, what would the Parameter condition look like? I tried adding the condition which was =IIF(Parameter!Text.Value = "U", UnitCost, NOTHING) > 0.
This doesn't seem to be working though. Can anyone provide suggestions as to how this would be done.
You can use an expression to determine if a row should be filtered or not based on the parameter selected value.
Add a new Filter condition in your tablix and use these settings and expressions:
In Expression textbox use:
=Switch(
Parameters!Text.Value = "All", "Include",
Parameters!Text.Value = "U" AND Fields!UnitCost.Value > 0, "Include",
Parameters!Text.Value = "A" AND Fields!UnitCost.Value > 10, "Include",
true, "Exclude"
)
In the Value textbox use:
="Include"
Note your parameter should have an available value as conditions to filter you need.
In this case I use A parameter value to filter the UnitCost values greater than 10 and U value to filter UnitCost values greater than 0. Customize to meet your requeriment.
Let me know if this helps.
I have a master report in SSRS/SSDT that contains several subreports....I see the Dataset on the master report has the "status" field in there as a field from the stored procedure. I would like to suppress/hide 3 sub reports if the status is '4'. going about it via the UI in SSRS/SSDT.
Goal to use expression to do following:
if status = 4
suppress following subreports. rpt 1, rpt2, rpt3
I imagine i would need to modify the UI for the 3 sub reports.
OPTIONS: rclick sub report, select subreport properties - Visibility - show or hide based on an expression fx.
Need Help with the expression.
=IIF(Fields!Status.Value, "4") TRUE, FALSE)
If the sub report is inside a table or Matrix that has its dataset set to the one containing Status and you are showing the sub report for each row of data then.
=IIF(Fields!Status.Value = "4", TRUE, FALSE)
Otherwise you can use the first value contained in the dataset to make the decision like this.
=iif(First(Fields!Status.Value,"DataSetName") = "4" , TRUE, FALSE)
Example:
Name: (a field name that display "people name")
His/her information: (match the name then pull out the field value of their "first/last name", "address
, "phone"....etc each represent 1 field value, so it need to pull out 4 field value)
Any advice or what function to use will be appreciate.
thanks for helping!!
