I have report in .rdlc format. I have inserted table in my report which is filled in programatically(in runtime) from datatable(which is also filled by dataadapter programatically). Also I want in table to use conditional formatting – background color of cell based on value. To do that in BackGroundColor property of needed column expression was inserted:

=iif(cdbl(Fields!MyField.Value),"Green","Yellow")

I haven’t mentioned that all fields in my datatable are string. Therefore i use cdbl function to convert string to double. And when I render report, i don’t have the desired result.
Therefore questions:

  • How to make sure there is no parsing error?
  • Is it possible to see step by step computation (as in excel)?
  • And what else error could be?

I suspect problem might be in culture.

    The quickest way to test is to call

    =iif(cdbl("3.14"),"Green","Yellow")

    =iif(cdbl("3,14"),"Green","Yellow")

    And see if it’s working.

    I don’t have a reporting services right now and can’t test it. I think you can do a tryParse in Reporting services.
