That expression seems perfectly fine to me. The only reason I can think of that it does not work is if the data type is float and there is some kind of rounding error.

What im trying to do is compare names from 2 datasets. Example if Name in dataset 1 exists in dataset 2. to color red if not then color black.

Thanks for the quick response.

I tested it and it seems to work fine.

Visakh I think what s/he is trying to do is to color all the rows that match the first row in red and have the others as black.

I tested it with two data sets, tested it with floating point and character data types - all seem to work fine.

If a name in dataset 1 matches a name in Dataset 2 then Color Red if not color black.

Sorry for being confusing.

you cant compare between dataset fields like that inside SSRS

if thats the case why not apply the logic in query itself and then bring it as a single dataset with matching bit also?
