Modifying a Report But Cannot Use a Variable

Posted on by 3,480

Hi:

I'm modifying an RDLC report for Business Central.  

I created a variable in Report Builder for SQL Reporting Services called "AmountInWords" and am trying to use it as a formula in a text box of the report.

But, I'm getting the error shown in italics below.

Is it not going to be possible to use a variable, then?

Rendering output for the report failed and the following error occurred: The Variable(AmountInWords) value expression used for the language of 'body' refers to a report item. Variable values cannot be used in report language expressions.

    Hello,

    We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist.  If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.

    Thanks.
