Custom Report Layout RDLC Preview is blank with error.

Posted on by 315

I created a custom RDLC layout based upon the 10074 sales invoice (I followed the instruction). I made a few changes that consisted of changing font colors and moving a text field and data field to a different location on the page. I was saving my changes and printing the changes out at each step and I had the new layout just how I wanted it to look. I printed/previewed many different invoices to make sure this worked correctly after I saved my changes.

I then decided to choose the "Custom layout" as the default layout for report 10074 on the  Report Layout Selection screen. My report now shows only some error fields when I print/preview the report.

I then went back and re-selected the original "built-in" RDLC layout as the default. But I still get the same error screen. So now I see this screen for both the "built-in" report and the custom report. I have even tried to select different invoices to print.

I have gone back to see if the custom RDLC layout still contained proper formatting. It appears to be fine:

Why is this giving me the errors? And why can't I go back to the original built-in layout? Fortunately, any invoices already posted somehow are using the original built-in layout and still print correctly although I don't know how.

Please Help!

    Kindly check the data set whether it is fetching value from table.

    Hi,

    [tag:Error] can have many reasons. Mostly when the expression of the textbox has an issue. As per your screenshots, who I can guess is, it is because of divide by zero, since it all happening in numeric textboxes. Check the expressions and handle the expressions to avoid divide by zero.

    Hope it helps,
