SQL Report Services 2005 print issue

I am trying to print twodatabase fields (PinRadius1 and PinRadius2, fields contain varchar data)to a label. If one of the fields is empty (contains no data) I do not need to print that field. If that field contains data I need to put the character "X" in fornt of the number and make sure the number goes out too two decimal places. Here is the expression I am using:

=FormatNumber(Fields!PinRadius1.Value,2) & Switch(Len(Trim(Fields!PinRadius2.Value))= 0, "Switch1: " & Len(Trim(Fields!PinRadius2.Value)), Len(Trim(Fields!PinRadius2.Value))> 0, " X " & FormatNumber(Fields!PinRadius2.Value,2))

If the PinRadius.Value field is empty, I get the following error
"[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textbox ‘PinRadius1’ contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format."

If I remove the FormatNumber command no error. I believe it is a formatting issue. I have tried Google and Yahoo search and no luck. Can any of you help???
thanks,

Solution 1

Check if the field is empty.

iif(Fields!PinRadius2.IsMissing, true, false)

or try this

iif(IsNothing(Fields!PinRadius2.Value), true, false)

Lusinike19 this is an "unrecognizable identifier". I am using SSRS 2005. Any other ideas?? thanks

luisnike19 this works fine as long as their is data in database field (Example: 25.1) or the field is marked Null. If the field is empty I get an error. Here is the code I am using:
=IIF(IsNothing(Fields!PinRadius2.Value),"True"," X " & FormatNumber(Fields!PinRadius2.Value,2))

Here is the error message I get when the database field is empty:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textbox ‘PinRadius1’ contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format.
thank you for your help.

Here is the error message I get when the database field is empty (by empty I mean their is no data in the field or the field is marked

Here is what I found works

=FormatNumber(Fields!PinRadius1.Value,2)&
switch (
Isnothing(Fields!PinRadius2.Value),"",
Len(Fields!PinRadius2.Value) >0, Code.Formatvalue(Fields!PinRadius2.Value)
)

Report Properties/Code
Function FormatValue (ByVal RadiusValue2 as String) as String

Dim TMPRadius2 as String = ""

If Not IsNothing (RadiusValue2) Then

If Not RadiusValue2 = "" Then

TMPRadius2 = Format(CDBL(RadiusValue2) ,"#0.00")
TMPRadius2 = " X "; & TMPRadius2

Else

TMPRadius2 = ""

End If

Else
TMPRadius2 = ""
End If

Return TMPRadius2
