This should be an easy one, but it's driving me crazy.

I need to check a value. If it is "System Process" I need to output a string. If it's anything else, I need to return that value.

Tried this to no avail:

=IIF(Fields!ObjectName.Value = "System Process" , "Not Yet Checked out" , =Fields!ObjectName.Value)

What's the syntax for returning the value in an else statement?

Thanks in Advance.

Are you using Reporting Service or T-SQL?

try removing the equal sign from the "else" statement.

In T-SQL

SELECT  CASE
            WHEN Value = 'System Process' THEN 'Not Yet Checked Out'
            ELSE Value
        END
FROM    dbo.Table1
