I am working on a SSRS Report.
In the report , i need do display a field of type: boolean that is either true or false.
When I try to display it on the report , it's showing as true/false.
But, I would like to represent it as yes if value is true and no if false.
I think one way of doing is by changing the query that gets data to report.
But I would like to know, is there any way we can write that condition in the report itself
to change representation.
You can use an expression field, add a textbox, right click => expression and use something like this: =IIF(Fields!LineTotal.Value = True, "This is true", "This is False")

I am using visual studio 2008 to write a reporting services report.
I am trying to conditionally hide a textbox/label on my rss report. I have an integer input parameter the user in the form marks yes or no, but the parameter is assigned either a 0 or a 1 depending on the answer.
My current expression is:
=iif(Parameters!#onetime.value = 0, True, False)
I get error bc30455, argument not specified for parameter 'TruePart'... blah blah
It looks like you may be declaring the parameter incorrectly.
Your parameter should look like Parameters!onetime.Value without the # sign.
Additionally, for the full statement, I'm assuming this is being used in the visibility settings. For that property, False means the textbox will be visible and True will hide the textbox. The expression you'll need should look like this:
=IIF(Parameters!onetime.Value = 0, True, False)
This expression will hide the textbox if the onetime parameter is set to 0.
You seem to be using the parameter incorrectly.
If your parameter is named onetime, the expression should be
=IIf(Parameters!onetime.Value = 0, True, False)
When using the expression editor, you can insert the correct syntax by selecting your parameter from the list of parameters.
Using this expression in the Visible property, the textbox will be visible if and only if the onetime parameter is set 0.
I have a multi-parameter report in SSRS where I want to display or hide a report depending on the parameter selection. If the user selects only one facility from a multi-value facility parameter then I want a second report to display along with the main report(it would be a separate tab). If multiple facilities are chosen then I only want the main report to display.
I've been playing with the visibility expressions on the second report but I can't seem to get it to work.
I've tried:
=IFF(Parameters!entity.IsMultiValue, "True", "False")
but that returns an error "The hidden expression used in tablix returned a data type that is not valid.
I've also tried:
=IIF(Parameters!entity.Count = 1), "False", "True")
But I get the same error. I'm using SSRS 2016.
False and True are not strings but constants.
Change it to:
=IIF(Parameters!entity.IsMultiValue="Your value", True, False)
And the second one to:
=IIF(Parameters!entity.Count = 1, False, True)
Good luck.
True and False are not strings, they are booleans. The Visibility property looks for a boolean, but in the expressions you gave (assuming your syntax was correct when testing it), you are passing strings since you have them enclosed in double quotes. Remove the double quotes and that will clear that error.
You also don't need to use IIf here -- you can simply use the first argument of the IIf, since that by itself will evaluate to True or False. I doubt there is any appreciable performance difference, but just a small thing to note.
I have a rectangle.
I want to hide it if a field (X) is NOT NULL.
I tried this but it is not working:
=IIF(NOT IsNothing(Fields!filepath.Value), 1, 0)
I get the error:
An error occurred during local report processing.
The Hidden expression used in rectangle 'ID2398' returned a data type that is not valid.
Anyone know why I'm having this issue?
Do I need to place the actual field onto the report? I tried it but I keep getting the same error.
If you're using that for the Visibility expression, I believe you need to explicitly use True/False rather than 1 or 0. So try:
=IIF(NOT IsNothing(Fields!filepath.Value), True, False)
I do prefer to use =iff(Fields!filepath.Value IsNot Nothing, Fields!filepath.Value, ) in Textbox/Properties/Visibility/Hide as it is more intuitive for me.
I would like to know if there is a way to created some kind of a function is SSRS that checks the value of a given textbox. If the value == "0", then, change it's text to "" (empty).
The idea here is to hide the content if the value is 0. The value comes from the database query results.
I would need a generic function because I have to apply this to a lot of textboxes.
If these textboxes are going to have numbers in them, you can change the number formatting to not show the zeros. There's an option on the Text Box Properties/Format/Number for "Show zero as" and you can choose a blank. You could then copy that format to your other textboxes.
"I would like to know if there is a way to created some kind of a function is SSRS that checks the value of a given textbox. If the value == "0", then, change it's text to "" (empty)."
You can use the ReportItems collection to access the textbox.
It is used in the same way as the Fields collection:
=ReportItems!TextboxName.Value
So in your case the expression would be:
=IIF(ReportItems!TextboxName.Value = 0, "",ReportItems!TextboxName.Value)
I have a report that holds two tables, one is for a Detail report and the other a Summary report. I've set it where if the Summary parameter (a boolean) is set to true then you only see the Summary table and vice versa if it's set to false. But I have a text box in the header that reads Report (Detail). I would like this text box to change depending on the same parameter, so if the summary parameter is set to "true" then the textbox will read Report (Summary) and if set to false it will read Report (Detail). How can I write this expression, I've searched but found nothing other than mentions of IIF expressions but I'm new to SSRS and don't know how to write these off the top of my head yet. Sorry if it has been answered I just couldn't find it.
This is how I have the expression for my Details visibility table to show if the Summary parameter is false (I found this out online too):
=IIF(Parameters!IsSummary.Value = 1, True,False)
I believe you get rep for selecting an answer (I also gave your question an upvote)
=IIF(Parameters!IsSummary.Value = 1, "Report (Summary)", "Report (Detail)")
The basic structure of the Iif is:
Iif(<equality>,<do this when true>, <do this when not true>)
this is more compact
beacuse if is boolean, you don't need the equivalence.
=IIF(Parameters!IsSummary.Value, "Report (Summary)", "Report (Detail)")
