Adding Report Filter on Float field

I am adding a filter on a float datatype field in my dataset.
Example:
=Fields!SharePrice.Value > 50
When running the report, I get the following error:
"...the processing of filter for the data set 'dataset' cannot be performed.
The comparision failed. Please check the data type returned by the data
expression."
I've tried casting the field as decimal with mixed results. Does anyone
know why this error occurs?You'd have to explicitly cast the return value using CSng() function.
