Hi Folks:
We have SSRS report (2016) with 2 columns Qty1 and Qty2 and want the record colored (red) If the Qty1 and Qty2 are matching. The Qty2 column has records in 5 decimal places and we want to round off to 3 decimal when comparing the values. I need help with formula.
In the above example the highlighted in red are matching.

Thanks!

=IIf(Round(Fields!Qty1.Value,3) = Round(Fields!Qty2.Value,3),"Red","Black")

I tried =IIf(Round(Fields!Qty1.Value,3) = Round(Fields!Qty2.Value,3),"Red","Black") and it is not working. Could it be because we have some NULL values?

What does "not working" mean?

Results in an error? (If so, what is the error and at what point is it displayed?)
Makes no difference? (If so, exactly which property did you assign this formula to and for which object(s)?)
Something else? (If so, please provide fuller details of what you are seeing.)
