SSRS - Date Format & Parameters Refresh.

Hi,

Can we change the date format in the default parameters pane.(For eg : When we create a new parameter and select datatype as date time in report parameters.)

Default settings for this date picker control is mm/dd/yyyy.

I need to change the date to dd/mm/yyyy.

Is it possible to the change this date format to dd/mm/yyyy or any other custom format?

Thanks in Advance.

Hello,

Is it possible to declare separate report parameters in SSRS 2005 as Date and Time?

I want the user to be able to enter a date and a time.

When I declare the parameters in my stored procedure as datetime, in SSRS the parameter just shows as a Date only.

thanks.

Hello, I have a database field that I am pulling that is type string, but the format of each value is mm/dd/yyyy.  I want to convert this to a datetime format (minus the time) so that i can compare this value to a parameter date range (begin date and end date) that are type datetime so that i can use the calendar control in my report.  i've tried in my select statement to use select.....convert(datetime, stringfieldname, 101), but I get an error that says "Conversion failed when converting datetime to character string". 

I am also open to converting the datetime parameters to strings to do the comparison, but not sure the best way to do this either.

thanks!

Hi,

I am using expression for date field:

=Fields!START_DATE.Value +

"-" + Fields!EXPIRY_DATE.Value

and it is displaying format like 12/31/2009 - 12/31/2010

So, How can i make it change to look like "Dec 2009 - Dec 2010"

I tried doing it from format but it is not taking into effect for that expression above. still it displayed the same format. any idea?

A very common desire is to set a column of a gridview to display just the month, day and year of a DateTime type. The problem is the by default, the HtmlEncode property of the boundfield attribute (
The problem is that if this field is enabled, you can not pass format information to the boundfield control. That is, if you try the following code, you will not get the desired result.

Execute the following Microsoft SQL Server T-SQL datetime, date and time formatting scripts in Management Studio Query Editor to demonstrate the usage of the multitude of temporal data formats available and the application of date / datetime functions.

Hello, Perhaps somone can shed some light on this. I want to make sure the user doesn't set a Startdate > EndDate  in a report. I've done some thing like this: Go to the Report Properties under the Report menu and place this code to the Code Tab. Public Function CheckDate(SDate as Date, EDate as Date) as Integer Dim msg as String msg = "" If (SDate > EDate) Then msg="Start Date should not be later than End Date" End If If msg <> "" Then MsgBox(msg, 16, "Parameter Validation Error") Err.Raise(6,Report) 'Raise an overflow End If End Function Then go to the Report Parameters and Add named it XXX with the datatype is string. Checked the Hidden and Allow blank value ckeckboxes. In Available Values choose Non-Queried and from Default Values choose Non-Queried in right side of textbox then press the FX button then paste this code. =CODE.CheckDate( .Value) But I'm having problems with the =CODE.CheckDate( .Value)  syntax. SSRS errors out. Any suggestions/insights? --joe

Hello Everyone, I'm totally and completely confused as to how to pass multiple paramters through a URL.  Book Online is absolutely no help because they do not offer any examples of passing multiple paramters within a URL.  Instead, I get confused over RENDER and COMMAND and what should be repeated where with each paramter and on and on and on. Here's my URL: javascript:void(window.open('http://sereporting01.wdig.com/ReportServer?%2fDOL%2fTEST%2fDisney+Sell-Through&rs:Command=Render&SiteName=Disney,InsertionType=300 x 250,Context=ROS','_blank','resizable=yes,toolbar=0,menubar=0')) What happens is that JavaScript opens a new window but I get a "Reporting Services Error".  I'm assuming it's because my URL parameters are not correct.  Can someone please just give me the correct syntax so that I can get on with my work? I'm editing this post to add - I'm also confused as to how paramters are supposed to be passed through to a report when default paramters are set up in the report which i'm trying to open with the URL.  Should I remove the default paramaters from the report or...what? Again, BOL offers no help on this issue and it just seems to generate more questions.  Thanks!!
