I am working on Crystal report 2013 and I'd like to format the date in crystal report
from
2008-04-27
to
April 27, 2008
what i have tried is this
Right click on the field -> Format Editor
Date and Time tab
Select date/time formatting you desire
but i can't see the date and time tab when i did this. I also use this formula below but no luck.
CSTR({StudentInformation.BirthDay}, "MM dd, yyyy")
Can anyone please help me to solve this. thanks
create a formula for your date and in your formula set it to totext( {StudentInformation.BirthDay}, "MMMM dd, yyyy" ), then add the formula to your report instead of the field
After having my research. This code solve my problem. It converts the string data type to Date and you can now easily format this according to your need.
DateValue({StudentInformation.BirthDay})

I have a google sheet with dates in europian format ( 15.09.2020 08:40 ) . When importing the sheet to data studio it detects this field as text. I try to change it to DATE but get error "Cant convert". Maybe becouse its in european format? Anyone know how to change this? I have tried formatting in google sheets with no luck...
You have to convert it yourself, with the european date as as string in the field your_field, create an additional field with following formula:
PARSE_DATETIME("%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S", your_field)
The details for date converting/parsing can be found here:

I'm still new at UFT, but I've come across a problem that I haven't been able to figure out. I'm testing the web based portion of our application right now, and there's dates in all kinds of formats (dd/mm/yyyy, MMM d, YYYY, MMM yyyy)
The one I can't seem to convert to a date is (dddd, MMM d, yyyy).
I found this: ' In addition, a long date format is not recognized if it also contains the day-of-the-week string.' on the CDate function page for ADM help.
So I guess my question is, how do I handle this format? Do I remove the first word in the string? Is there another way to do this? - Thanks all for any help
I want to show up Todays date as report generated date on SSRS report.
How can i do that ?
should I use any variable ?
please help me I'm newbie to SSRS.
For example refer this image:
date column 1:
=formatdatetime(today)
Try this:
=FORMAT(Cdate(today), "dd-MM-yyyy")
or
=FORMAT(Cdate(today), "MM-dd-yyyy")
or
=FORMAT(Cdate(today), "yyyy-MM-dd")
or
=Report Generation Date: " & FORMAT(Cdate(today), "dd-MM-yyyy")
You should format the date in the same format your customer (internal or external) wants to see the date. For example In one of my servers it is running on American date format (MM-dd-yyyy) and on my reports I must ensure the dates displayed are European (yyyy-MM-dd).
You can also drag and drop "Execution Time" item from Built-in Fields list.
to display date and time, try this:
=Format(Now(), "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm tt")
You can place a text-box to the report and add an expression with the following value in it:
="Report generation date: " & Format(Globals!ExecutionTime,"dd/MM/yyyy h:mm:ss tt" )
In the text box that contains the header, you can use an expression to get the date. Try something like
="Report Generation Date: " & Today()
right click in the text box in the layout view. At the bottom of the list you'll see the expression option. There you will be able to enter the code. This option will allow you to avoid adding a second textbox.
Just simple use
=Format(today(), "dd/MM/yyyy")
will solve your problem.
Inset Test box in the design area of the SSRS report.
Right-click on the Textbox and scroll down and click on the Expression tab
just type the given expression in the expression area: =format(Today,"dd/MM/yyyy")
you may use the build-in function
Globals!ExecutionTime
You can use built in function
=Globals!ExecutionTime
and make the value = [&ExecutionTime] (or whatever you want to call it)
You can also add the user Id of the person generating the report using the built in function
=User!UserID
I have a textbox for date display which shows the date in this format: 17/04/2012 but I would like to format it to shows up like 'April 17, 2012'. I tried this code
UserForm1.txtDate = Format(Long Date)
which I am getting syntax error from compiler.Can you please let me know how I can do it?
Thanks
there have been couple of posts on this. Culprit seems to be your system date format. Use of short, medium, long formats will change the result when the system settings change.
In US systems mainly it's done as, e.g. Format$(yourdate, “dd/mm/yyyy”)
Where as European systems, e.g. Format$(yourdate, “short date”)
If we look at explicitly defining your format, you are formulating your regional settings!
Good e.g. short date won’t always be mm/dd/yyyy but could be dd/mm/yyyy. That’s the key advantage over actually specifying the format. Simply you can change how you want your date to look like instead of depending on the system (with or without your knowledge).
When we first encountered this, we had some making the VBA apps and sending it over to another in some other place where they have own localized system date format. Your phone rings... ;)
Short/Long Date: Display a date according to your system’s long date format.
Medium Date: Display a date using the medium date format appropriate for the language version of the host application.
In your case you could use,
UserForm1.txtDate.Value = Format$(Date,"mmmm dd, yyyy")
Or to be super-safe,
Dim dtDate as Date
dtDate = DateSerial(Year(Date), Month(Date), Day(Date))
UserForm1.txtDate.Value = Format$(dtDate, "mmmm dd, yyyy")
Hope that helps.

I have an issue with date format in my SSRS. I am saving date from DateTimePicker to database. From there I am taking display in my datagridview using following
dgv.items(0,2).value=Format(Cdate(dsSaver.tblInv.rows(0).items(0)),"dd-MMM-yyyy")
This displays it correctly (04-Nov-2011) but when I take date from the same database to my SSRS using
="Dated: " &Format(cdate(Fields!InvDate.Value),"dd-MMM-yyyy")
It displays it like 11-Apr-2011.
I have tested all winforms fare displaying it right but all SSRS are displaying it wrong.
Please advise.
A couple of things are going on here. The date is being saved appropriately but is being displayed incorrectly due to your formatting options. This line is quite problematic:
="Dated: " & Format(cdate(Fields!InvDate.Value), "dd-MMM-yyyy")
CDate takes a value, generally a string, and converts it to a date, which you are then taking and formatting back into a string. Now, by default reports are set to have their Language property set to English (United States) so the CDate function is taking the string representation of the date 04-Nov-2011 to be 04/11/2011 which it is then converting, using the US format of MM-dd-yyyy (not the Pakistani one) into being the date 11-Apr-2011 because it thinks the month comes first.
So, you should change your Language setting of your report to =User!Language so that it supports whatever the user's language is and will format things appropriately. This may be enough to make your expression work.
Regardless, if Fields!InvDate.Value is being supplied as a date field (as it should be) there is no need for the CDate function and this should work:
="Dated: " & Format(Fields!InvDate.Value, "dd-MMM-yyyy")
There is also the FormatDateTime function but unfortunately it doesn't support the format you want to use.
Have you looked at the RDLC options for Formatting a Report: Format the Date?
