SSRS number format expression showing unexpected results - reporting-services

I have a table that contains metric data for various business units in our organization. There is one column that contains the KPI measurments. I've created a report to display each business units KPI's. Some of the metrics need to be displayed as whole numbers, others need to be displayed as percentages.
I created an expression to handle the multiple formats. The problem I'm having is with the percentages. For example one of the numbers (which should be displayed as 93.74%) appears as 939474%. If I remove the expression and set the format to percentage using the text box properties, the number displays as 93.74%.
Here is the expression I'm using:
= IIF(Fields!KPI_desc.Value like "*Rate",
Format(Fields!Value.Value,"0.00%"),"0")
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you

I guess you put this into the Format Expression so that it will return the result like integer. Actually you just need to put this expression into textbox directly.
= IIF(Fields!KPI_desc.Value like "*Rate", FormatPercent(Fields!Value.Value,2),"0")

How to generate numbers for showing sequence in SSRS also it should get rearrenge when any field inbetween is missing

I am facing problem in SSRS report for showing sequense numbers as given in image.
when I searched for this issue I got solution as -- RowNumber("DataSetName")
but problem with this is, it generate numbers like 1,2,3..., but I want these numbers in following forms- 1.1, 1.2 or 1.1.1, 1.2.1.
And another problem for me is above function will work if I am having multiple rows in dataset and that dataset is bind with table to show its data, but In my case I am getting all data in single row and out of that I am showing values in textbox using expressions and if that value is empty I am hiding that textbox.
so I am not getting any solution to show sequence number in textbox along with text and how I can rearrenge that numbers if my inbetween textbox is hidden because of no data.
Please provide me solution for above probem.
Image for reference -
Example of data is :
From above table values from "Subheading1" And "Subheading2" will show inside "Heading first" and "Subheading3" And "Subheading4" will show inside "Heading second".
You can concatenate row numbers as strings as follows:
=RowNumber("HEADING") & "." & RowNumber("SUBHEADING")
To ensure numbers are consecutive remove the relevant rows in the source dataset instead of hiding them in the tablix.

how do I change a lookup value to whole a number in ssrs?

How do I format a number with 2 decimal places to a whole number?
I used the Lookup function to get a result, but formatting decimal to whole number does not work for this value. I did Text box properties -> number -> whole number doesn't work for one of my value. Also customize number to #,### but its not changing anything.
How do I make this value display as a whole number?
You may be confusing how the number is displayed (which can be controlled using text box properties) and it's actual value. It sounds like the value returned from the lookup is not a number, it might be a string/text value instead which would explain why it was not affected by number formatting.
One option is to convert the value to an integer (whole number) in the lookup expression itself, using a function to convert the value: CInt()
For example if your expression currently looks something like this:
=Lookup(Fields!SomeField.Value, Fields!SomeDatasetField1.Value, Fields!SomeDatasetField2.Value, "SomeDataset")
then you can change it to:
=CInt(Lookup(Fields!SomeField.Value, Fields!SomeDatasetField1.Value, Fields!SomeDatasetField2.Value, "SomeDataset"))
Or if you want to keep the original value, but just change how it is displayed then convert to a decimal value instead:
=CDec(Lookup(Fields!SomeField.Value, Fields!SomeDatasetField1.Value, Fields!SomeDatasetField2.Value, "SomeDataset"))
and then use the text box formatting options to control the displayed format.

SSRS custom number format

I am go to generate an excel file from SSRS, and
I want to format the number like this...
15 is displayed as 15
14.3453453 is displayed as 14.35
12.1 is displayed as 12.1
0 is displayed as 0
1 is displayed as 1
I can apply this in Excel but unable to apply in SSRS
[=0]0;[=1]1;0.##
Does anyone can suggest another way for me? Thanks!
am assuming that you want to know how to format numbers in SSRS
Just right click the TextBox on which you want to apply formatting, go to its expression.
suppose its expression is something like below
=Fields!myField.Value
then do this
=Format(Fields!myField.Value,"##.##")
or
=Format(Fields!myFields.Value,"00.00")
difference between the two is that former one would make 4 as 4 and later one would make 4 as 04.00
this should give you an idea.
also: you might have to convert your field into a numerical one. i.e.
=Format(CDbl(Fields!myFields.Value),"00.00")
so: 0 in format expression means, when no number is present, place a 0 there and # means when no number is present, leave it. Both of them works same when numbers are present
ie. 45.6567 would be 45.65 for both of them:
UPDATE :
if you want to apply variable formatting on the same column based on row values i.e.
you want myField to have no formatting when it has no decimal value but formatting with double precision when it has decimal then you can do it through logic. (though you should not be doing so)
Go to the appropriate textbox and go to its expression and do this:
=IIF((Fields!myField.Value - CInt(Fields!myField.Value)) > 0,
Format(Fields!myField.Value, "##.##"),Fields!myField.Value)
so basically you are using IIF(condition, true,false) operator of SSRS,
ur condition is to check whether the number has decimal value, if it has, you apply the formatting and if no, you let it as it is.
this should give you an idea, how to handle variable formatting.
Have you tried with the custom format "#,##0.##" ?
You can use
=Format(Fields!myField.Value,"F2")

Placeholder value from a group field

I have a report where I did grouping by currency, and also I have added total by currency, so if I generate my report, the data related to each currency are sorted, and after each Currency Type set of rows I have the total of the currency
The hearder info (Textbox. and PlaceHolder values) are repeated to each currency
Also when I export to excel, I have adjusted the report to save the results of each currency on a different sheet, and having the sheet name renamed to Currency
My Problem is that in the header of the report I have a PlaceHolder that should display the currency.
However in the PlaceHolder expression, it only allow me to enter "=First(Fields!Currency1.Value, "dataSet")".
But when I generate the report it only shows the first currency "AED" even for data and sheets of other currency
How can I display the correct currency same as I did in excel sheet name for a placeholder expression?
I have bad news for you. You can't access the datasets in any way other than using functions such as First in the page header in SSRS, and there is no way to let the header "respond" to what's going on in the body.
Perhaps my suggestion in this other question can help you out as well. This comes down to not using a header but "faking" a header in the body. Not pretty, but it may work for your scenario.
I did find a solution:
Insert a Header in the report.
Drag Currency field from dataset into the header.
Edit the expression
Change "=First(Fields!Currency1.Value, "dataSet")" into "=First(ReportItems!Currency1.Value)"
Also note that the above only works only for the header, it doesnt work in a placeholder expression in a textbox
Regards
Oh, you are so close! You set yourself up for success when you made the page name dependent on the currency name.
Don't use anything from your dataset directly, use the information from the dataset you are already passing to your report structure. You are already putting the currency name where your header can find it by making it the page name.
=Globals!PageName
as the expression for your placeholder.

MS Access VBA Cross tab report legend sort order

The problem is hard to explain ,
I have an access report with a stacked bar chart to show the percentage fills over time like the one in this example : Click here
The legend for the chart i have is a number followed by the name, for e.g
1-Mango
2-Apple
3-Banana
etc
I want to sort this according to the above format but when i have more than 10 items the 10-Pineapple comes before 1-mango when it should appear after 9-somefruit .
The underlying query for the access report uses a Cross Tab query in which the items are created as
Column heading:[PrefixPriorityNumber]&"-"&[FruitName]
I even used the Sort:Ascending but it still doesnt affect my custom ordering that i wanted to show.
I also tried to google "sorting alpha numeric strings" but this is clearly more than that.Any assistance is appreciated
The problem is you are getting a text sort. You need to format the prefix number.
Column heading: Format([PrefixPriorityNumber], "00") & "-" & [FruitName]
Either use another digit, as Remou suggests (01 instead of 1) or start using letters. A > 9, B > A, etc.
