"A value or expression was expected."

I'm trying to set in my report a expression depending of a boolean but i cant linked the expression to my global var aux.

proforma Boolean
aux Text

To turn around this problem I tried to create a column and with a/c code I set the column value depending of a boolean



anyone can help?

Try changing your var name, to something else.
Like MyReportTitle, it might be reserved or used elsewhere.

It sometimes happens if you copy a line of text from a spreadsheet cell or another source, including a tab or a new line character, and paste it into the Dev Env. The Dev ENV does not display such characters, and also does not interpret them as white spaces.

Try to delete everything from the last letter of the ReportTitle up to and including opening quotation character, and then retype missing bits - don't use Ctrl+C + Ctrl+V to put them back

I tried to create a global var called MyReportTitle and then in my a/c code I set its value doing

IF proforma THEN
MyReportTitle := 'Fatura Pro Forma'
ELSE
MyReportTitle := OrderNoCaptionLbl;

And in my report I set the textbox value to "Globals!MyReportTitle.value" but it prints #Error.. How to get the value from the global?

Hello @catiamatos1991

In RDLC layout, here is the correct syntax "ReportItems!Textbox1.Value" (not Globals!MyReportTitle.value) where Textbox1 is a textbox that you defined in the body of your report.

I strongly recommend you to get some training. If you work for a Partner then ask the seniors around you. If you work for an end users company, then ask your Partner or colleagues. I believe they will be glad to help you.

My excuses if my comment offends you. But, I hope it will put you in the correct path to learn C/AL (AL also).

regarding your first error, I believe ReportTitle is already declared as a "Text Constant" in your report. You cannot assign value to a Text Constant by doing:
ReportTitle := 'Some Text';
Text Constant are meant to handle multi language reports (ML... hence Caption ML).
Try to use another name for your variable.

if you're working for a NAV Partner, then ask for this training material "80436_NAV2013_ENUS_CSINTRO_08"
or try google/bing, you'll find some documents
