    Hi rtran ,

     

    Let me explain my steps again after modifying some of them.

    1. click the value of Hours and change data type as "number".

    2. right-click table and select "Tablix Properties"

    3. create a filter and enter "=1" in the value expression

    Result:

    Hope that's what you were looking for.

    Best Regards,

    Yuna

Hi Yuna, 

 

I'm not able to replicate your steps and right clicking does not give me the option to change the data type. 

Is there a difference between uploading from flat files and files that are using a live data source? 

 

Thanks!

Hi rtran ,

 

You may have found the wrong place. Please right click the dataset and select the "Query" option, then follow the steps as I mentioned before. It should work. 

Hope that's what you were looking for.

Best Regards,

Yuna

    Hi Yuna, 

     

    My previous screenshot was in the "Query" option but I still don't seem to have that option available to me? 

     

    Thanks!
