In my Series Group, I have the Label with the following expression:
=(Fields!School.Value) & (COUNT(Fields!School.Value, "Chart3_SeriesGroup"))
want to make the COUNT part appear in BOLD, any ideas how I can do this?
have tried using format (count...…., "BOLD") and all sorts like "<b>" but nothing works?
it is for the legend, I want to display the text (school) as regular font, then the Count in BOLD
any way to do this?
Thanks

Already had a look at that before posting.

i am formatting a LEGEND, not a textbox, so there are no placeholder properties.

The legend displays: School A 34, School B 22 for example
I need the display to be School A 34, School B 22

Ah, I hadn't realised the legend was different to any other text box, in that respect.
None of the reports here have any legends on them, otherwise I'd have a play with one to see what I can do.

Rodders...

What you could do is spilt your expression into a table with two columns
The first column could have the value =(Fields!School.Value) and the second column could have the value =(COUNT(Fields!School.Value, "Chart3_SeriesGroup")). Then, all you would have to do is set the font weight of the second column to heavy.

One work around I can think is FontWeight properties of legeng and can do expression.
eg.

=IIF(Right(Fields!Graph_Year.Value,2)=18,"Bold","Normal")

You can change Right function according to your formula, I have used current year for testing. May be take last three digits and check it they are number or do they exists eg. IsNothg () !!!!

hope this makes sense.
