Hi guys, I've been migrating .rdl reports from AX2012 R3 to D365. While trying to deploy one of these reports in visual studio, I get the following error and no further explanation: "Path: [AxReport/.../Designs/PrecisionDesign1/Expression]:PrecisionDesign1: Field expression is invalid since there is no context dataset."

What I've been doing to migrate the reports is convert the .rdl file into an .rdlc, and replace the .rdlc file on the designer of the report. The report designer is ok with this since it doesn't throw any other error when trying to compile. I have already defined a dataset on the report (a data provider class with its correspondent tmp table), and the fields on the report correspond with the ones on the dataset. I have also looked at the metadata file of the report and the definition of the dataset are all set to the dataset I defined on the report.

Has anyone come accross this problem? What am I doing wrong?

Yes, I figured it out... you have to check that every tablix element in the report design has a dataset associated to it. When you finished assigning the datasets, save the design and re-deploy the report. I tried it on multiple reports and it worked everytime.

Let me know if you need more help or details to guide you through this.

Good luck!
