SSRS Report Builder Shortcuts

524 views Asked by At

Its just a short Question I couldn't find any answers here or in the web thou. Is there a shortcut to jump into an expression in a Report?

I handle complicated Reports with basicly only expressions and it would be much faster if there where a shortcut to open a Expression in a Textfield.

Thank you in advance Nicolas

The report file (.rdl) is actually plain XML. So you can edit the expressions directly in this format. If you are using Visual Studio, right-click on the report and select "View Code" to get the XML editor.

If you are making the same change to multiple expressions you can use the Find & Replace option in the VS code editor. You can also copy and paste cells (textboxes in a table) in the normal visual view. You can even copy and paste multiple cells if needed.
