  Hey everyone, I am interested in studying the language used to write SSRS expressions. I have heard this characterized as a "pseudo-vb" language. Does anyone know where I can begin on becoming a master of writing expressions? Or have any resources to recommend? Thanks!

  The hardest thing with SSRS expressions is the readability. The number of quotes, double quotes and brackets without any colour coding drives me insane.

  The actual logic behind writing SSRS expressions is fairly easy.

  If anyone has any tips/tricks to making the expressions more readable i would be very grateful!
