Hosh hoooshh julle naaiers....

I was hoping you guys/gals could help me with a little problem i have.
I'm in the process of converting a report that i developed in Business Objects to Reporting Services. The little problem i found was that i couldnt use a if/case statement in a 'text box' in Reporting Services.
I know i can bring the data into report from sql like i need but i would prefer not creating another dataset.

e.g.

IF SellPrice = 0 Then 0 Else ((SellPrice - CostPrice) / SellPrice)

Use this formula
=IIF( (SellPrice = 0), 0, ((SellPrice - CostPrice) / SellPrice) )

This should do it

It's working! thanks man
i did read up on 'iif' before posting the question but thought that it can only change the colour of the text box's value just like an alerter in Business Object. I feel like a dumb ass now...
