#20 First function doesn't work for non-numeric values

[Warrick Flower]

The First(...) function doesn't work for non-numeric
values. Looks like it is doing numeric type-checking.

The example has a TextBox with expression
=First(Fields!country.Value) in the list body. The
following exception was thrown:

System.Exception: The items that are summed must be a
number.
