Row color and Alternate Row color for Table in RDLC Report

Very easy! :-)

In your report designer surface, you need to select the data row that contains your data - something like this:

When you look at the Properties box for that data row, you will see a property call BackgroundColor - open the dropdown, and you'll see all the usual colors - but also a menu item at the bottom called Expression...:

When you select that item, a dialog box will open that allows you to insert an expression to determine the background color for that row - that's where you need to put that expression that you have - and that's all there is!

If you don't want to add a RowNumber field to your dataset, just use the built in function RowNumber(ScopeName as String). I commonly use the name of the DataSet as parameter:

= IIF(RowNumber("CarsWithNoMakeDataSet") Mod 2 = 0, "LightGrey", "Transparent")

You can find this function at the Expression dialog, Category "Common Functions", Subcategory "Miscellaneous"

As the ScopeName parameter it is possible to use the name of a Group or Data Region. Please find more here.

Hope it helps,

The expression definition to alternate the row color is:

=iif(Fields!RowNumber.Value Mod 2 = 0,"LightGrey","White")

This sample assumes you have a field RowNumber in your dataset.
