Average of text field in SSRS report

  • I want average of a text field in SSRS report, how can i convert it to number first and then get the average?

  • Depends on what you mean by "average" with regard to a text field. Does that mean if one value is "A" and another is "C", it averages to "B"?

  • Yes, that's right. The text column is actually a calculated column in SharePoint List.

  • If it comes across as a text field, then you could create a calculated field in your dataset and convert it to whatever datatype you need, using something like CLNG() in a calculated field, and then summing that.
