Hi,

I have an SSSRS report that i need to count a column Location Category. Need to display the result out side the table. see below my statement. The result set display is 1 even i dont have any data on this column except an space or blank.

LOcation category
-------------------
PB-L1-01
PB-L1-01
PB-L1-01
PB-L1-01
Blank space
Blank Space

--This give me 2, remove the PB-L1-01, this give me 1 using below statement.

=CountDistinct(IIF(Fields!LOCATIONCATEGORY.Value <> "",1,0),"DETAIL_DS")

Hi Visakh, thanks for the reply.

Under Catetory--Dataaset, Item---DETAIL_DS, then under Values, this is the contents,,First(Fields!LOCATIONCATEGORY.Value, "DETAIL_DS")

Try this based on your suggestion but i got an error.
