Power BI Paginated Reports Issue: Error BC30205 and Aggregate expression with recursive simple flag

[navj]

Hi, 

I'm building a report from a single data source. The data source has many project records, each one is has a ContractID with associated fields about the specific ContractID. I've built a template where I have the ContractID field, and then a number of other fields layed out on the page as if a form. I'm having two problems/errors every time I try to visualize the report: 

1. The Value expression for the textrun 'C1.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]' contains an error: [BC30205] End of statement expected.
   ----------------------------
   The definition of the report '' is invalid.
   ----------------------------
   An error occurred during local report processing.

2. The Value expression for the textrun 'Date3.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]' uses an aggregate expression with the recursive/simple flag. The recursive/simple flag is not allowed for First, Last, Previous, RowNumber, RunningValue and Aggregate.

   The definition of the report '' is invalid.

   Note: for this one I was prefacing each =Field expression with =First(Field....) and it gave me this recursive error. 

Questions: 

1. How can I get it to print out one page per Contract?

2. What if I add a second page to the template, will that cause an issue?

Thanks, Gao. It worked. I put the fields into a list, re-added the fields with First in front, and now it is displaying properly. Much appreciated!
