Report: The Hidden expression for the tablix ‘table1’ contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format.

Posted on by GentRBAL 5

Hello,

I have build a report in Visual Studio. I have put an expression for a row visibility. The report is run and extract the correct results. When the report is published in SSRS an error message appears.

  • The Hidden expression for the tablix ‘table1’ contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format. (rsProcessingError)
    • The Hidden expression for the tablix ‘table1’ contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format. (rsRuntimeErrorInExpression)

the expression is 

=IIF(Parameters!NRP_Status.Value ="Y" and Cint(Format(Fields!DATA_DISBURSIMIT.Value, "yyyyMMdd")) > Parameters!Close_date.Value, true ,
IIF(Parameters!NRP_Status.Value <>"Y" and Cint(Format(Fields!DATA_DISBURSIMIT.Value, "yyyyMMdd")) < Parameters!ORED.Value,true,
false))

Can you help please

thanks

    Hi,

    It definitely seems like an environment error. Did you compare the country and region settings of your local environment with the server? What is the Format(Fields!DATA_DISBURSIMIT.Value, "yyyyMMdd") part returning on the server if you have it separate on the report?

    Hi Anton,

    Yes , I have done this too. The CInt function returns the correct integer as I expect.

    As I said upper, the report runs correctly when I run it locally. The errors appears after it is published to reporting server . Can be an environment issue?

    thank you

    Hi,

    It's either the Cint or Format function that throwing the error. Probably the Cint function. Try to see what fhe format part is returning by adding that part the report and test it. See if that makes any sense. Perhaps it's returning something that the CInt function doesn't like.
