hello i want to make an expression. The scenario is if there are blank column in the database i want to show "None" in the report. i decided to do it by report expression rather than doing it in the Stored procedure.. is it correct? =IIf((Fields!GP.Value) = Nothing ,"","None" & Fields!GP.Value) Thank you.

1. Try this...

=IIf(Fields!GP.Value = Nothing ,"None",Fields!GP.Value)

2. You may have to also check for a zero length string like the following:

=IIf(Fields!GP.Value = Nothing ,"None",
IIf(Fields!GP.Value = "","None",Fields!GP.Value)

3. I recommend setting this in the stored procedure or query similar to the following:

Select
Case when len(ltrim(rtrim(isnull(GP,''))) = 0 then 'None' else GP End as GP
From ....
