In SSRS custom code, can we create a function that call another function?

Question

In the Custom code section, if I defined function 1 first, in the next line, can I define function 2 that calling function 1? If not, how can I get around it?

Answer 1

Yes, you can. Artificially simple example:

Function SumSum(a as decimal, b as decimal) as decimal

Dim c as Decimal

c = a + b

Return c

End Function

Function OtherFunction(a as decimal, b as decimal) as decimal

Dim c as Decimal

c = SumSum(a,b)

Return c

End Function

OtherFunction will use the SumSum function to sum a and b.
