Expression in SSRS

Hi,

SSRS Expressions

Global : Global expressions executes/works in Page Header and Footer parts only.

ExecutionTime() shows date and time at when report executes
PageNumber() shows page number of each and every page but allowed only in page header and footer
ReportName() displays name of the active report what name we have assigned to the active report
UserId() shows current user name with domain name.

Language() displays language of execution

Arithmetic Operation
^ power of
* multiplication
/ divides two numbers and returns a floating point result
\ divides two numbers and returns a integer result
Mod(X,Y) divides two numbers and returns remainder only
+ adds the numbers and concatenates strings
- subtraction the numbers
Comparison
Known operators : < <= > >= <> 
Like compares two strings and return true if matched or else returns False. Ex: =Fields!Title.Value Like Fields!LoginID.Value
Is compare two object reference variables Ex: = Fields!Title.Value Is Null
Concatenation
+ and & symbols uses for concatenation
Logical
Known: And, Not, Or 
Xor SELECT * FROM users where firstname = 'Larry' XOR lastname = 'Smith'
AndAlso First condition will check first and if it is true only, goes to next or else it won't need to check. Because our execution time is saving in a logical operation in which more conditions is combined using AndAlso function.
OrElse same like above
