ReportViewer controlling nulls

[prrm333]

I am able using an expression to output a phone number in the (###) ### - #### format and if the field is blank I end up with () -. I would like to using an expression like Crystal Report show nothing if the field is blank. How do I do this?

Also does anyone have a good tutorial on using ReportViewer to create labels similar to Crystal Reports?

Thanks.

You need to do this in the report item's expression.

OTOMH something like:

=IIf(blah = "", "", String.Format(”{0:(###) ###-####}”, blah))

Since this issue is with the Report itself (not the report viewer) I'd suggest trying this forum next time: forum1462

Hope it helps,

Alex

Thanks for the info, I modified it to the following:

=IIf(Fields!HPhone.Value = "", "", ("(" & Left(Fields!HPhone.Value,3) & ")" & " " & Mid(Fields!HPhone.Value,4,3) & "-" & Right(Fields!HPhone.Value,4)))

But using your code I got the start I needed. I also found the Reporting Service Forum and I'm using that too.
