Create line break with SSRS expression

We can make line break in SSRS below way

predefined Visual Basic constant can be used

  • Using vbCrlf

="Line 1" + vbCrlf + "Line 2"

Could not update list of Fields for the query in SSRS

While Connecting to the stored procedure from the SSRS reports getting below error.

"Could not create a list of fields for the query. Verify that you can connect to the data source and that your query syntax is correct."

An item with the same key has already been added.



I have added here sample stored procedure created.

create procedure products
as
begin
    with #ProductCat as(
        select DPC.EnglishProductCategoryName,DPC.FrenchProductCategoryName,dpsc.EnglishProductSubcategoryName,DPSC.FrenchProductSubcategoryName
        from DimProductCategory DPC
        join DimProductSubcategory DPSC on DPC.ProductCategoryKey=DPSC.ProductCategoryKey
    )
select PC.EnglishProductCategoryName as Product_Category,PC.FrenchProductCategoryName as Product_Category
,PC.EnglishProductSubcategoryName as Product_SubCategory
from #ProductCat PC
end

Two column names are having in the output with same name.
unfortunately SSMS will not throw any error for this.
Make proper naming while naming the dataset column names.
