IIF Statement

I am just trying to do some maths on my report and thought I would use the IIF statement to do the work. The problem I have is that all of the searches I have done on the net seem to revolve around finding values that = rather than not equal. Obviously if this was a number I was searching on I could use;

=IIF(ReportItems!DataRow2_Floorspace_Total.Value<>0,(ReportItems!DataRow2_Floorspace_Occupied.Value)/(ReportItems!DataRow2_Floorspace_Total.Value),0)

but what is the SSRS expression equivelant of <> when it comes to searching for something that is <> "Vacant" as an example.

Using <> just throws up an error which I guess I would expect as it is not a numerical value I am searching for.

You can use the Not operator

=IIF(Not(ReportItems!DataRow2_Floor = "Vacant"),1,0)

These should all be valid operators in the Report Expression syntax...
