#Error in total fields

I am getting a #error in my subtotal and total fields,
I have data in a field (on a table) as follows which displays 0.00 if there is a zero in the divide by field, otherwise it performs the divide and gives me a percentage difference from the two fields.
This works fine

=iif(Fields!REPCYINC.Value=0,0,(Fields!REPCYINC.Value) / iif(Fields!REPCYPROD.Value=0,1,Fields!REPCYPROD.Value)) * 100

Yet when i try to get this in a total field by doing an AVG it fails, and gives #error, please help, no matter how many iifs a wrap aroun dit it doesnt help.

This is the statement that #error's

=round(avg(iif(Fields!REPCYINC.Value=0,0,(Fields!REPCYINC.Value) / iif(Fields!REPCYPROD.Value=0,1,Fields!REPCYPROD.Value)) * 100) ,2)

Brian Weckler's blog has a posting related to this.

Andy,

I had a similar issue recently when I used this statement:

Format(Sum(IIf(Fields!Product.Value="HEALTH",Fields!ID.Value,0)),"C")

Report Service kept giving me the #error, I located the detail error message and then I change my statement to this

Format(Sum(IIf(Fields!Product.Value="HEALTH",Fields!ID.Value,nothing)),"C") and everything worked okay. I remember the error message about mixing different types or something.

I hope this works for you.

Unfortunately this post just explains what i have already posted, the issue is not the divide by zero, I have iif's to work around that and my inline divide give 0 result not #error,

I experience the #error in the group totals when i sum (As described in my original post)

If the main iif works and gives 0 then why not the sum?

These things should be straightforward!!

That doesnt help, the inline iif *, 0, 0 works fine, I did try changing it to nothing although i still get the same issue, the group totals when i do a sum doesnt work, it #error's!!!

sorted, regardless of how many iif's you throw around the numbers within the SSRS you MUST format the field as number otherwise #error occurs, seems like Microsft still have some work to do here.....

At LEAST make some kind of error handling reporting so we know where the error is coming from, it could be anything....
