I am trying to use this function in my report without success. This is what I am entering: = COUNT(Fields!QuizStatus.Value = 'O'). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have a similar problem. I have to count up the number of Es. I ended up doing it at the stored proc level. I created an extra column in my result set that when the previous column equalled E then this new column got a one, otherwise zero. I then do a sum in the report on this new column. It works perfectly. It seems kludgy, but I don't know of a work around.

You could do the following:

In the details section or whatever section you are working with add the following invisible text box as a calculated field:

=IIF(Fields!Blah.Value = 'E', 1, 0)

Then in the footer of the group or wherever you can do this:

=SUM(Fields!Blah.Value)

I tried that earlier this week, but that didn't work. I get this error:

The value expression for the field ‘=IIF(Fields!Correction.Value = 'E', 1, 0)’ contains an error: [BC30201] Expression expected.

So the field that it is referring to is my calculated field.
