SSRS Report + sort by expression

Posted on by 1,867

Hello

I add this expression on matrix on ssrs report:

7853.png

=IIF(Parameters!BOMCalcTransDetailDS_parmOrderByCalc.Value = "TRUE", Fields!PriceCalcId,  Fields!LineNum)

I'm sure that BOMCalcTransDetailDS_parmOrderByCalc.Value returns TRUE of FALSE but report returns this error:

Sort expression used on 'MainTablix' returns a type data that is not valid. (rsInvalidExpressionDataType)

I want order by field PriceCalcId or linenum depend on parameter OrderByCalc.

Somebody can help me?

thanks

    Are you sure that OrderByCalc is a text field containing the text "TRUE"? Isn't is an enum field instead? And if it isn't an enum, shouldn't it?

    1. You don't need double quotes for the keyword true (in the expression)

    2. check ifBOMCalcTransDetailDS_parmOrderByCalc.Value returns TRUE indeed, by just showing it in the report design somewhere..

    (also compare this with an infolog from the DP class (if applicable)
