How to Display Blanks as Zeros in a SSRS Report
Some of the cells in this SSRS matrix report are blank:
To display zeros instead, we will use two functions:
1.
1 | IsNothing(<Val2Check>) returns a True of Val2Check is Null; otherwise, it returns False |
2.
1 | IIF(<Test>, <IfTrue>, <IfFalse>) return <IfTrue> if <Test> is True; otherwise, it returns <IfFalse> |
In the design of the matrix, right-click on the textbox containing the values in question, then select Expression… to edit the expression underlying the textbox.
Type the following expression in the Expression dialog:
The expression says that if SUM(Fields!SubTotal.Value) is Null (the IsNothing() function that it is in returns a True if it is Null and a Fales if it isn’t), then a zero is returned by the expression; otherwise the SUM(Fields!SubTotal.Value) is used.
Click OK and preview the report again. Notice that zeros are now present in what used to be the blank cells.
Enjoy!
