I'm having a trouble in concatenating the Negative numbers and Strings. I've successfully display the negative numbers with parenthesis (ex. (3)) but when I add the string to it the format of number becomes -3 again. This is my expression:
=Cint(Fields!UNT_TAKEN.Value) & " UNITS"
It returns me with this value -3 UNITS
But I want to return (3) UNITS
Thank you in advance.
If UNIT_TAKEN is already a number then you can just set the format property of the cell/textbox to
0 Units;(0) Units
If UNIT_TAKEN is a string then set the value expression of the cell/textbox to
=FORMAT(CINT(Fields!UNIT_TAKEN.Value),"0 Units;(0) Units")
Below I created a dataset with both a numeric and string version of seven numbers. The table below shows the actual values and the formatted values as above.
