I am using Sql Server Reporting Services 2008 R2. When "previewing" my current report, I see everything appearing as it should. The displayed query values are correct in my table, which reads straight from the single dataset.
However, I see this as a warning:
Warning 1 [rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘Textbox20.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format. E:\SSRS_Projects\Custom Reports\Attendance\Attendance\MIA_1B_Math_Absence_Detail.rdl 0 0
The puzzling thing is that I have no objects named "Textbox20."
I tried browsing thorough the object list on the "Properties" panel
and didn't see it.
I did a Ctrl+F search for "Textbox20" and couldn't find anything.
I'm not sure what else I can describe at this point.
Does anyone know how I can isolate the cause of this warning?
Thank you
If I understand correctly, the warning message was caused by the incorrect previous expression, however, the warning message persists although the values displays correctly in the report after you modified the expression. Besides, the warning message came out even though you create a new report and use the right expression.This is a known issue in Report Designer. When there is a warning message generated in the "Error List" pane of the Report Designer, the warning message still pops up after we correct the previous error. Actually, it always pops up whenever we preview any report in the same project. To avoid the issue, we only need to close the project and reopen the project. That way, the previous error lists will be cleared and the warning message won't pop out unless there is still an error in the report design.And your table's columns and rows are here text box.so please select the table column and see the property name.
Try Using this code
=IIF(IsNumeric(Fields!Data.Value),CSTR(FormatNumber(IIF(IsNumeric(Fields!Data.Value),Fields!Data.Value,0),2)),Fields!Data.Value)

I've what seems a trivial thing to do in MS Access 2016, but can't get it right.
I have a table named "Values", and I want to get the Length of a column named Value_Name which is of data type "short text"
So I click Create > Query Design. I show table "Values". I double click column "Value_Name" so it's the first field. I click in the second column, and for a Field value I enter:
Length of value: Len(Value_Name)
If I click anywhere else, I get a pop-up error saying "There was an error compiling this function. The Visual Basic module contains a syntax error." When I close the error it highlights "Len" in my Field.
I've tried with several functions (replace, left, etc) and can't get any to not give the above error, even when adding the column with the "Build..." right click menu.
So I edit the SQL directly, and enter:
SELECT Len("Test") AS TestLength;
And this gets "Compile error. in query expression 'Len("Test"'.
... and yes, the error message has a period after the word "error" for some reason.
In queries specifically, this issue occurs when VBA has a problem compiling some code.
As June7 hinted, it may be caused by a missing reference, but only if there's some VBA code failing to compile. It can be code with plain syntax errors too.
To track down this code, enter the VBA editor (Alt + F11) and hit Debug -> Compile Database. The editor should point you close to the code that's failing to compile, which you'll have to fix.
Trying to render an SSRS report that had a multi-select parameter option and multiple row groups within a single tablix. The report would fail inconsistently with the error message above. Entire error message was, "An error occured during local report processing. The value '3' is invalid. Valid values are between '0' and '1'. This error message is not obvious.
The issue with the report was that there was a page break set to be between each instance of one of the 3 groups mentioned in the question. The tablix which contained the three groups also had the property "keep together on one page if possible" set to true. It seems that these two properties do not play nice together. Setting the keep together property to false allow the report to generate.

I have the following iif
IIF(LEN(Fields!IDENTITE.Value)=0,"Known manager","Unknown manager")
Yet for some specific case, nothing is appearing (e.g. no known nor unknown)
I checked the results with a sql query and nothing is appearing (the result is below)
I amended my iif to reflect this case
IIF(COUNT(Fields!IDENTITE.Value)=0,"Known manager","Unknown manager")
Yet the same issue is appearing
Any ideas on the why?
Thanks
Update : I tried the countrows as mentionned by #breez and I got this error
One of the possible way to deal with the absence of rows is the following:
Click on the tablix , look for NoRowsMessage option and type the text you want (example: "No known managers")
Next time there are no rows, this message will be displayed
PS: It is only doable for matrix, list and tables not for textbox. For more info, click here
SQL Server 2008 R2, using BIDS to design the report.
I have a table and I am trying to only show a certain row. Maybe there are better ways to do this, but I am coming across an error with the filter expression and regardless of how I achieve my initial task, I'd like to understand the filtering.
I started with the filter expression (set to type "Integer"):
RowNumber(Nothing) = 1
This gave the error:
Cannot compare data of types System.String and System.Int32.
I found the solution to this is to change the 1 to "=1" as 1 is evaluated as a string.
So I then had:
RowNumber(Nothing) = =1
That changed nothing, I got the same error.
Then I tried to do that to the first part of the expression:
=RowNumber(Nothing) = =1
This changed the error to a deployment problem (still builds, which is frustrating):
Error pvInvalidDefinition : The definition of the report '/ReportName' is invalid.
I then tried using CInt on RowNumber:
CInt(RowNumber(Nothing) = =1
Then I can deploy it, but the error just changes back to the first one:
Cannot compare data of types System.String and System.Int32.
It seems no matter what I try here I either can't deploy the report or I get an error that I'm comparing a string to an int.
RowNumber returns an integer, so it seems like this should work. I've tried using the name of the dataset in place of "Nothing" but that doesn't change what I'm seeing.
I realize there are many ways to solve my initial problem, but I am curious as to why the filter expression is invalid.
Its better to hide a row with visibilty property. Just click on any text box and go to visibily tab . You can now click on show or hode and go to expression.
That default to Hide . So write an expression there to hide the row.
=IIf(NOT(RowNumber = 1),TRUE,FALSE)
Let me know if you get any error
RowNumber is not available to use in a Tablix Filter.
Using RowNumber(Nothing) <> 1 as a Row visibility property fixed the issue.
Using BIDS you are not given any error that indicates what the problem is, but importing the report to Report Builder and deploying it from there will give a more descriptive error that, in the end, helped me to solve my problem.
I am looking for ways to track down where an SSRS error is occuring.
I have a report that is about 90 columns wide with multiple formulas. The problem that I am having is that on one of the formulas there is a divide by Zero error. I have implemented the answer from Robert Harvey in this question but I still get the error. I know that the answer works as I have tested it on a small report.
So the question is: How on earth do you identify where an error is occuring in SSRS when SSRS only reports that an error occured?
EDIT The error as displayed is
An error occured during local report processingAn error has occoured during report processingCannot read next data row for the dataset MainReportDivide By Zero error encounted
EDIT
Rather than use the IIF statements and others, I'd reccomend doing the following... Add a custom function to your report, go to report properties and the code tab. Create the following. To specifically identify the field that is throwing the error, you can change this to return a string and maybe "#OOOOOOPS" so it sticks out on the report.
Public Function SafeDivision(ByVal top As Decimal, ByVal bottom As Decimal) As Decimal
If bottom = 0 Then
Return 0
Else : Return top / bottom
End If
End Function
After adding this function, go to the expression view for all of the fields that you have where division will occur. You can execute this newly created function by typing in:
=Code.SafeDivivision(CDbl(1.24), CDbl(0))
ORIGINAL
If you run the report within visual studio, does it tell you which specific textbox/label/field the computation failed in? That should help pinpoint where the issue is coming from, but you could also make sure that you never perform the division with 0 in the denominator by looking at the code below...
//myBottom would be the value of the denominator
//myTop would be the value of the numerator
= IIF(myBottom <> 0, myTop / myBottom, "")
Follow Up
The problem ended up being the SQL Query. As part of the SQL query, I had as In clause like the following.
Select ID, Name, price/kg as unitpice from products where ID In (#ProductIds)
SSRS uses exec sp_executesql and string.replace to inject the ID's into the IN clause.
The problem I had was I would run the query in SQL Studio Manager. with all the variables entered and it would work as expected. but under SSRS it would fail with the divide by Zero error, and there was no real clear indication where the error occured.
After I made a copy of the report and deleted items one by one until there was litrally nothing left on the report to render and it still produced the error, I turned my attention to the SQL Query.
It was there that error was occuring. I only found it after using SQL Profiler to find out what SSRS was actually running.
After that it was relativly easy fix of deleting the offending line and returning the seperate parts of the divide and run it through the function that RSolberg suggested.
