I am using Visual Studio 2017 to design a SSRS report. Are some of the error messages one sees when they click on the Preview button actually meaningless? For example, I get, "The tablix 'Tablix2' is invalid. The value for the DataSetName property is missing." But when I look at the xml for the rdl file, I can not find any "Tablix2".

Report Properties are empty. When I build, there are no errors or warnings

Visual Studio is probably showing you all the errors from the SOLUTION rather than just the one report. There should a drop down menu below the Error List window title bar with the different scope selections.

It defaults to Entire Solution but you can change it to Current Document.

The errors also don't disappear after you correct them (thx MS). You need to close and re-open VS to not see them.
