Dear all, I am trying to use the LIKE operator on my tablix. For that I am using the following Filter expression: =Fields!A.Value Filter operator: LIKE Filter value: rpt* alternatively: ="rpt*" This works and return all fields value starting by "rpt", but I do not want all field value starting fro rpt but part of them. My Fiels.Value content is containing string that have follwoing format : rpt#StartReel1 rpt#StartReel2 rpt#StartReel3 rpt#EndReel1 rpt#EndReel2 rpt#EndReel3 from this set I need to retriev only rpt#Start but if I apply rpt#Start* to the previous filter value I get no return. It looks like the # caracter cause trouble. Any idea ? Thnaks for help regards Serge Your knowledge is enhanced by that of others.

The # caracter was causing trouble. Why I don't know but replacing works okYour knowledge is enhanced by that of others.

Hi Serge, I agree with you. It looks like the # character cause the issue. It seems to be a product issue, you can submit a feedback at https://connect.microsoft.com/sqlserver Currently, another solution to return only the records that are started from "rpt#Start" is that: Filter Expression: =InStr(Fields!A.Value, "rpt#Start") Type: Integer Filter Operator: = Filter Valule: 1 The InStr returns an integer specifying the start position of the first occurrence of one string within another.
