//expected average is 3,3%

What I have tried:

I tried using the average;

then I tried manually by summing up the column and do an average, this gave me an error

Hello Anele,

It is hard to help without knowing exactly what you rdlc is being populated with. That being said, I would make sure you convert your field to the appropriate data type before passing it to the AVG function:

It should be something like this:

=Avg(CSng(Fields!AverageDrops.Value), "dsReport")

Hope it helps.

Cheers!

Looks like you need to learn the basics of programming:
An error message tells you the reason of error and its position in code. Along with code, it is the most important information available to help you solve the problem.
You didn't showed either of them.

This is not informative, about anything can lead to this comment.
Showing actual data and result would be more interesting.
