SSRS - Changing the reference of element expressions to reflect dataset rename automatically

I am using the SQL Server Report Builder, and just changed the name of a dataset. Is there a way to make all the already existing elements in the report that reference the old name, to use the new name?
Doing each one manually is a lot of work, so any tips would be appreciated!
To do each field manually, I would have to enter the expression and change
=First(Fields!FieldName.Value, "OldDataSetName")
to:
=First(Fields!FieldName.Value, "NewDataSetName")
Your report is just an XML file. Open it in notepad and replace all occurrences of old name to new.

Parameters for RDL Report generated from Cub

I am working with SQL Server 2008 and i generated my cub and i want to make a rdl report with parameters but when i preview the report i found that the structures of values are strange
For example instead of seizing in a field of paramettre the value 148, I have to put [PRODUCT].[ID].&[1.48E2]
When I generate the report from the database of sql server directly it works but from the cube it does not work
How can i do to just put 184 rather than 1.48E2 and why i have that structure?
Right click on your datasets folder in report builder or Visual Studio , click "show hidded datasets" , amend the query to reflect your requirements.
On the
How can i do to just put 184 rather than 1.48E2
part, first of all, I think you meant 148, not 184. Secondly, it is possible to just pass 184, but that probably involves little change in the report's dataset. As you have still not provided the query for the report's dataset, I can't really help you on how to make changes.
Now coming to the
why i have that structure?
part, it is because of how the DSV of your cube is written. In scientific notation, 1.48E2 is same as 148.
If you want to see the member to look like [PRODUCT].[ID].&[1.48E2], you need to probably change the format of ID attribute in DSV.

Converting Crystal Reports to SSRS Issue

Hi I am converting the crystal report to the SSRS reporting but i am new to both the reporting tools in crystal report there is lots of fields that are calculate but i am stuck at this one field is calculate like ,
"!" & {MM.JobNumber} & "!"
and i am not sure what it does so any insights would be very great.
Based on the information provided, this formula simply concatenates two exclamation marks onto the field {MM.Jobnumber}.
The output for this would look something like this
!Jobnumbervalue!

Exporting from ssrs 2008 report to multiple column in csv

I have ssrs report. When I export that report to csv , and when I open that csv file in ms-excel, some data is coming in column A and some data is coming in column B .Can you help me in getting whole data to column A only ? In report, DataElementOutput property of each textbox is also set to 'Auto'.
Without more to go on it seems you have two columns and they are displayed as such. If you just want a single column consider doing an expression like this in SSRS:(click the cell and choose 'Expression' in 2008 and higher)
=Fields!(FieldName).Value & " " & Fields!(FieldName2).Value
This would put two fields in one column but seperate them with a (space).

How to use fonts for part of an expression in SSRS 2008

I'm using SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 / Visual Studio 2008.
I have this displayed in the report
Date between «Expr»
where <> is
format(Parameters!StartDate.Value,"MM/dd/yy") & " and " & format(Parameters!EndDate.Value,"MM/dd/yy")
I want to display the actual dates in different font/size/color. Or the " and " in a different font/size/color.
How do I do that?
Thanks!
You will need to create several text boxes with different formatting. Formatting parts of the text in the display via HTML or any other markup is not possible.
EDIT
Please note that HTML seems to be possible in SSRS 2012: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff519562.aspx
