The value of scope cannot be an expression and must refer to the current scope or a containing scope.
Example
The following two code examples provide an average of all values in the Cost field contained in a dataset named Inventory.
=Avg(Fields!Cost.Value, "Inventory")
OR
=Avg (CDbl(Fields!Cost.Value), "Inventory")
