I have been trying to get a nested iif to work with the "like" operator and cannot come up with the right syntax. The basic code is shown below and before it is suggested, I have also tried this with the SWITCH operator with similar errors. The expression editor moves the error around based on the parenthesis. This particular expression is in the "fill" property of a matrix in an SSRS report. I really want to set the color on a match and leave it unchanged for no match. For the code below the expression editor shows an error on the first comma after the text "Preferred".
=iif((Fields!PHASE_TYPE.Value like "*Preferred*","ForestGreen","Blue") or
(Fields!PHASE_TYPE.Value like "*Maintain*","DarkSeaGreen","Red"))
Your syntax is not quite right for a IIF function. It takes 3 parameters, and you are only really giving it one.
You are going to need to change your expression to some like the one below.
=Switch(Fields!PHASE_TYPE.Value like "*Preferred*","ForestGreen",
Fields!PHASE_TYPE.Value like "*Maintain*","DarkSeaGreen",
True, "White") ' This last part will catch anything that does not match the above

Hi I have a report that i used a wild card search parameter so that i can pull record that contains a certain text.
For example: I need to search for subscription for Mary Johnson so on the keyword search box i just type "John". This set-up is working fine, but now I need to color that search keyword when found for each row. so i need assistance on expression code that mimics SQL syntax of LIKE in SSRS expression. I started to change the font color with =iif(Instr(Fields!ReportRecipients.Value)=Parameters!Keyword.Value,"Maroon","Black"), but it didnt work.
Please advise.
Sample
TOJo.eger#m.com; ruth.tuker#m.com;sandrae.espe#m.com; dan.gay#m.comIncludeReportTrueRenderFormatPDFSubjectDaily Report for IBC Medicare? was executed at #ExecutionTimeIncludeLinkFalsePriorityHIGH"
You can use some .net string functions directly in SSRS expressions. In your case you can use the Contains() function like this.
=IIF(
Fields!ReportRecipients.Value.Contains(Parameters!Keyword.Value),
"Maroon",
"Black"
)
If you are dealing with HTML and only want the search term to be highlighted then you can simply use this as the Value expression. You must leave the text box color properties as default.
=REPLACE(
Fields!ReportRecipients.Value,
Parameters!Keyword.Value,
"<span style=""color:red;"">" & Parameters!Keyword.Value & "</span>"
)
Finally, right-click the placeholder, choose properties and select Mark-up type as HTML
In this example, I used a country list and searched for the word "land", here's the results. The first column just uses the first method I described. The second column adds HTML tags.
Good Afternoon,
I have a multivalue parameter where if the last value in the array has the value "Reentry", it should always display the report. However, if the last value in the array is not "Reentry" it should hide the chart because it doesn't apply to the other choice. The choices are Corrections, Reentry and All. I applied the following expression to the visibility option of the target chart.
=IIf((Parameters!Division.Value(Parameters!Division.Count-1)="Reentry"), True, False)
This is showing the report for all cases, even when I select only Corrections which is the value that appears in a textbox where I placed this expression, being the last value in the array.
=Parameters!Division.Value(Parameters!Division.Count-1)
I have tried all kinds of other ways to get this to work and I have been stuck for a day. I think this approach is the easiest but it is always showing the chart, no matter what is selected. Any thoughts? This shouldn't be so difficult...thanks in advance!
Try using this expression:
=IIF(
Array.IndexOf(Parameters!Division.Value,"Reentry")=
Parameters!Division.Count-1,True,False
)
Let me know if this helps.
Currently the data in field is coming like this 9646.88 and my requirement is
Remove decimal places and add comma for thousands e.g. 9,646
=IIF((RTRIM(Fields!COMPANY_NAME.Value))="VACANT","",Fields!BASE_RENT_PM.Value)
Please help, I am a newbie in SSRS.
Go to Properties pane when you select the textbox.
Then put this on Format property
#,0;(#,0)
Using Common Functions such as Text and Conversion functions shown in Expression window will give you the desired result.
For e.g,
Format(Int(9646.88), "#,###") // try "#,##0" which returns 0 if less than 1
where Int(9646.88) returns the integer portion of the number 9646 and Format(9646,"#,###") returns a string formatted according to instructions contained in a format String expression "#,###" which is a thousand seperator. Thus, it will give you "9,646".
So, in your case, try this,
=IIF(RTRIM(Fields!COMPANY_NAME.Value)="VACANT", "", Format(Int(Fields!BASE_RENT_PM.Value),"#,###"))
Note:
Format(9646.88, "#,###") will return a rounded result 9,647 and
Format("VACANT", "#,###") returns just "#,###",
none of which may not be your desired result.
Have your Tried this?
=FORMAT(IIF((RTRIM(Fields!COMPANY_NAME.Value))="VACANT","",Fields!BASE_RENT_PM.Value),"#,###")
Should solve your issue.
Kind Regards
To add comma for thousands, you need to change your expression.
If you need output as 9,646 then try below.
=IIF(RTRIM(Fields!COMPANY_NAME.Value)="VACANT","",Format(Convert.ToInt32(Int(Fields!BASE_RENT_PM.Value),"#,0;(#,0)")))
OR
=IIF(RTRIM(Fields!COMPANY_NAME.Value)="VACANT","",Format(CInt(Int(Fields!BASE_RENT_PM.Value),"#,0;(#,0)")))
Updated Answer:
As you want to handle null values as well I would suggest below way to achieve your goal.
Set Textbox visibility with below expression.
=IIF(ISNOTHING(Fields!BASE_RENT_PM.Value),True,False)
So if null value is there then it will show blank in the ssrs report.
i have been trying to hide/show columns within my tablix based on multi value parameter , but whenever i am plugging in the expression in the column visibility properties it is not showing what i select from the parameter and hide what is not select.
Here is the expression:
=IIF(InStr(JOIN(Parameters!parameter.Value,", "),"value"),false,true)
any help???
If I understand correctly, you want to show the column if you select a value which contains "value". Right?
So the expression should be like below:
=IIF(InStr(JOIN(Parameters!parameter.Value,","),"value")>0,false,true)
I always get this wrong too. I think backwards. It is actually asking for the expression that will hide the column. SO Black_T is correct with his answer.
=IIF(InStr(JOIN(Parameters!Parameter.Value,","),"value")>0,false, true)
so whenever the expression picks up that value in the statement, it will return false, meaning that it should not hide it, and whenever it doesn't find it, well the returned product will also hide it! pretty ingenious!
Thanks and enjoy!
=IIF(InStr(JOIN(Parameters!parameter.Value,","),"value")>0,true,false)
I'm am having some trouble with conditional formatting in SSRS. I have tried Switch & IIF Statements (below). The report runs but is not returning colors as it I'm hoping it would. I'm trying to highlight dates which are <= today in red, and everything else will be black. Does it matter if this field is a date field? I've seeen other questions on here with the same issues but no resolutions. Was hoping today would be my lucky day to find an answer. Here is what I have tried and thank you in advance for any input.
=Switch( Fields!Decision_Must_Be_Made.Value <= today(), "Red",
Fields!Decision_Must_Be_Made.Value > today(), "Black")
=IIF( Fields!Decision_Must_Be_Made.Value <=today(), "Red", "Black")
Yes, it definitely matters if the field is a Date Time field. If it's a string, then you need to convert it to datetime first. How you do that will depend on the format of the string. But it will be much better if you can stick with a datetime field from the database. (I've seen where some will format a date to a string in the select of the sql query. Don't do that. Format as late as possible: in SSRS, at the text box level.)
If it is a dateTime, break up your formula to find out what's not working as expected and make it more visible, if only for debugging. Put this in the expression of a cell, for example:
=IIF( Fields!Decision_Must_Be_Made.Value <=today(), "Old", "New")
Edited to add information on where the color formula should be added:
Sounds like you don't have the IIF specifying the color in the right place. There are a few different places you could specify this: it needs to be in the properties of either the textbox or the placeholder. The value for these things should simply be your date field (=Fields.Decision_Must_Be_Made.Value) but the font color needs to be specified separately. One place to do this is in the Text Box Properties dialog. In the font pane, you need to specify the font color. The Fx symbol indicates that you can specify a formula. Click this button for a place to enter your '=iif...' formula.
Admittedly this does not answer your scenario but may help someone else. I had an issue where a stand-alone textbox using a scenario where I wanted to display an error message when there was either no record or duplicate records. My formula "=IIf(IsNothing(First(Fields!MyField.Value)) Or First(Fields!MyField.Value) <> Last(Fields!MyField.Value), "Red", "SomeOtherColorButNotBlack") which did not render the correct fore-color (came out "Black") however, doing a similar expression that equates to True or False on a Tablix or Matrix does work fine. Another one for MS to solve. I found my own workaround by setting the color to always be red and then the expression of the Text to be blank when no error.
