  • Data type
    Choose the data type for Value. When possible, choose a data type that matches the data type for Expression.

    The values in Expression and Value must evaluate to the same data type. For example, if Expression is set to a field that has the data type System.Int32 and Value is set to 7, from the drop-down list, choose Integer.

    If the data type option you need is not in the drop-down list, write an expression to convert the value to the correct data type. For more information, see Filter Equation Examples (Reporting Services).
