Formatting Phone Numbers in SQL Reporting Services

-
Image
Every time, without fail, I need to create a phone number on an SSRS report for a client and get stuck with phone formatting. Every time I am searching forums. I thought it would be awesome if it was in some amazing blog that I could visit and copy from each time.

So... here it is, if not for myself, then for others:

In Report Builder or visual studio, add your phone number field to the report. 

Right click on that text box where you added the field and click on expression. 

Clear the formula box and type in the expression below.



Formula to Use: 
=IIF(Fields!Phone.Value Is Nothing, Nothing, IIF(IsNumeric(Fields!Phone.Value), Format(Val(Fields!Phone.Value), "(000) 000-0000"), Fields!Phone.Value))














Note: My field is actually called Phone. If your field is not called phone, you will need to replace it with your phone field name. (Like: Fields!E_T_PHONE_HOME.Value)


Then click on OK at the bottom of the expression box.

Run your report.








Magic...
Until next time.

Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) vs. NetSuite and Other Competitors- Common Myths Debunked
A former colleague of mine was recently emailed a copy of the NetSuite partner monthly newsletter. The head article from NetSuite sales was regarding Business Central and it's upgrade versions, all taken from a personal blogger/system administrator. They were using this blog as facts as what was going on with Business Central. After digging on the World Wide Web a little deeper, I was able to find many sites and documentation from NetSuite on what appeared to be "facts" about Business Central (BC). I also found similar articles from other competitors: Acumatica and Intaact.Here are some of the common myths I am seeing published online:
Business Central is siloedBusiness Central doesn't have automated upgrades and users are all on different versionsBusiness Central is not a robust ERPBusiness Central is newBusiness Central doesn't have a lot of customersBusiness Central does…
