How to set the Electronic report validation conditions?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by DAX Dev

Hello,

we have a custom Electronic report for Transfer orders.

We have a filter on a certain price fields, based on the parameter.

When the filter does not match to the selected transfer order the error messages are displayed:

"An error occurred during the 'Format mapping' run. For more information, contact your system administrator."

"Property 'FileName' of the format component 'Transfer' is evaluated."

"Evaluating expression for path 'model/List/Records/2 PostingDate'.List is empty at 'model/List'"

I tried to define the validation condition as "ISEMPTY(model.List)" and Post-Validation action to "Continue execution (write a remark)". 

When I run the ER the message that I defined is shown, but I still see those 3 error lines.

What I want to achieve is to have just my message displayed when the report is empty.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi DAX_dev ,

    Here is similar discussion.

    community.dynamics.com/.../business-document-management---purchase-order-excel-running-error

    If you try to run the report from report configuration form you will get this error because report expects parameter. However this shouldn't be happening when you run it from transfer order screen. The standard purchase order confirmation report throws the similar error when you run it from configuration form.

    Hi Sukrut,

    I find out the reason.

    The reason of this error messages is that the FileName is constructed with PostingDate. So when we run the ER, which is based on some price parameters, and if the filter is not matched the PostingDate is empty and that's why why we get the errors.

    I tried to construct the FileName with IF() statement:

    IF(model.List.Records.'2 PostingDate' <> NULLDATE(), DATEFORMAT(model.List.Records.'2 PostingDate', "yyyyMMdd") & "_Manual","FileNameTest")

    When I click the Test button everything works fine, but not during the actual process
