Filter table on NULL value in Reporting Services

I was trying to find the correct filter statement for a NULL value in Reporting Services but I always seemed to fail.

So what's the trick?

Filter: =IsNothing(Fields!YourField.Value)
Operator: =
Value: =True

Notice the = before True as this really makes a difference!

Been a while

It's been a while but there is a very good reason for that :-(

There were some complications with the pregnancy of my girlfriend. The little one wanted to get out already but my girlfriend is only 30 weeks pregnant so it has to stay in a couple of weeks longer.

Anyway, a week and lots of medication later it seems to be under control... for the time being.

So as of tomorrow I should be back on track and posting interesting SQL stuff.
