Global expression apply to all fields in report

Hi All,

I got a situation that need to write a expression for doing if the value is negtive then display () around this value, and this expression should apply to 30 fields in my report. so i just wonder is that any way that i can create this expression as global variable , then i can use this expression in each field, instead of i write IIF function in every field expression area.

Any helps are appreciated.

Cheers

Nick

Hi Nick,

You can declare a public variable in the Custom code section of the SSRS reports. The syntax for this variable declaration should be VB. Once declared, it can be used in any part of the report by referring to the field as Code."Variable Name". eg. Code.IntCounter.

Yeah, i did this way, and it works.. Thanks mate

But i have a little question, it always hightlight the global variable name and indicate it is not declared object in expression area. even through it still works.
