I am getting an error in a calculated field that could potentially divide by zero, even though I'm using an IIF. The column displays in the report as "#Error". My expression looks like this:
"None", Fields!Hours.Value / Fields!Qty.Value)= IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0,
I have successfully used this approach with INT fields, but this time the Hours field is a NUMERIC(9,2). My workaround is to do this:
IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, "None", IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, 42, Fields!Hours.Value) / Fields!Qty.Value)
I guess the 42 is cast to an INT inside the second IIF and the calculation works.
What's strange is that the division would even be carried out in the event of Qty = 0 from the first IIF, because the expression should just evaluate to "None" and that would be that.
Has anybody run into this problem? Is my workaround the recommended approach?
