Use expressions to [retrieve and format data](use-report-elements\bind-controls-to-data.md), [create calculated fields](shape-report-data\use-calculated-fields.md) and [calculate summaries](shape-report-data\calculate-summaries\calculate-a-summary.md), [conditionally shape data and change a report control's appearance](shape-report-data\specify-conditions-for-report-elements.md).

## Expression Syntax

-
An expression is a string that is parsed and processed to evaluate a value. Expressions consist of field names, constants, operators, and functions. Field names are wrapped in square brackets.
You can use [operators, functions, and constants](use-expressions\expression-syntax.md) in your expressions.

The Report Designer's Expression Editor provides functions, operators, data source fields, report elements, constants, and variables to construct expressions.
The Expression Editor highlights an expression's syntax and supports intelligent code completion (it suggests functions and available data elements as you type).
The Report Designer's FilterString Editor allows you to specify filter criteria for a report, [Cross Tab](use-report-elements/use-cross-tabs.md), or [Chart](use-report-elements/use-charts-and-pivot-grids.md)'s series.
