Assuming all records are complete with 10 digits.
Try this:
=Format(cdec(PhoneNumber.Value),"(###) ###-####")|||= Format(Convert.ToDouble("90155585850000"), "(###) ###-#### 'Ext.' ####")
or use a regular expression, sth like
=System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(Fields!phone.Value,
"(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4})", "($1) $2-$3")

Now i have discovered that there are some rows without phone numbers.
How do I do an IIF statement, that will return the formatted phone number
and not available when there is no phone number?

to display if the field !isnumeric. So, here is the code I am using:
=iif(isnumeric(Fields!Q4Amt.Value),
Format(convert.ToDouble(Fields!Q4Amt.Value),
"$###,###,##0.00;($###,###,##0.00);$0.00"), "N/A")
Every time the N/A is supposed to be displayed, I get an error message.
Thanks for any and all help

value is NOT numeric, then the format is BLANK. You cannot dispaly regular
text for objects that are, in this case, formatted for numeric display.
Hope this helps.

and $123,456.78 in the same textbox. So my options are:
1) If you cannot display a string and a number in the same textbox, can you
superimpose one textbox on top of another, with a switch as to the visible
textbox, based on the expression IsHidden =iif(isnumeric(Fields!Q4Amt.Values),True, False
2) Write a parsing function in the Report Parameters Code window and return
ONLY string values
3) Punt...
Any other ideas would be appreciated.

>|||Thanks Chris. I posted this twice, as this thread did not move up the forum,
when I replied to it. I didn't think anyone was watching it.
The answer I received was option #2
This is the code I place in the Report Property's Code Tab:
Public Function NumericStringToCurrencyString(ByVal strPhrase as string) as
string
if isnumeric(strPhrase) then
NumericStringToCurrencyString =format(cdec(strPhrase),"$###,###,###.##;($###,###,###.##);$0.00")
else
NumericStringToCurrencyString = strPhrase
end if
end function
Then in the textbox Expression field, I entered:
=Code.NumericStringToCurrencyString( Fields!Q4Amt.Value)
This gave me the desired results.
Thank you for your assistance
Thank you ever so much.
