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 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})
In my Database i use mysql i have a value of 7/25/2015
My report code:
rptmain.Subreports("CrystalReport1.rpt").SetDataSource(dtincom)
the problem when i am displaying the report it looks like this
7/25/2015 12:00:00 AM
which is not what i want. i want the original value inside my database is this possible without doing such code? please take a look of the picture below.
ToText({DataTable1.date_conduct}, "MM-dd-yyyy")
I know that I can write the following to format a number as a date with the appearance yyyy-mm-dd:
Range("A1").NumberFormat = "yyyy-mm-dd"
I know that I can also write:
Range("A1").NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
and all kinds of things.
But is there a way I can set the number format to become a general short date and leave it up to the user's system to decide the exact appearance?
I'm looking for an expression like:
Range("A1").NumberFormat = "Short Date" '(<-This does not work)
It is a bit tricky. If you have a look at a cell's properties, format tab, category Date, you will see some formats beginning with an asterisk (*), those respond to the changes of the user locale. Try setting your cell to the first element, short date, then get its numberformat value in the immediate window with ?activecell.NumberFormat. You'll see that it is "m/d/yyyy", so your snippet does the job well. Just try changing your locale setting in control panel, the format of the cell will change accordingly.
Please try this
Format(Range("A1"), "Short Date")
It will return the system short date value.
How can i validate date parameters in a pentaho report designer.I am using "fromDate" and "ToDate " parameters in my report/prpt.Because if i am selecting particular date range i will get that particular date ranging values only..It is working fine...
But if anyone is selecting date range like " FromDate > ToDate " i want to show some notifications like " wrong date selection " like dat..
Is it possible in Pentaho Report Designer? Or by using some java SCript?
Can you provide more context? I don't seem to understand your question.
But try to use the IF formula to your parameter (since I believe you are using it as a field in your report) to render the value to be "Wrong date selection" if the start date is greater than the end date or vice-versa.
In a Pentaho report designer, take a label for validation and edit a value in the attribute tab as -
=IF([FromDate ]>[ToDate];"'ToDate' should be greater than or equal to 'FromDate '";
IF([FromDate ]>TODAY();"'FromDate ' should be less than or equal to 'current date'";""))
Hope this answer 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?
