How to display date instead of dateTime when printing a report?

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 509

Good day everyone,

I'm developing a report that uses an RDP with two date parameters.

when the date parameters are displayed in the report using auto design, they are formatted as dateTime instead of date, which can mislead the user and confuse them.

Is there a way to remove the time portion of the date?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Abdullah,

    Have you tried to format the values using this?

    =format(Parameters!Dataset1_FromDate.Value,"dd/MM/yyyy")

    Hi Abdullah T,

    Please use following expression in the textbox of the date field.

    =format(Parameters!Dataset1_AsPerDate.Value,"dd/MM/yyyy")

    I'm using an auto design though, and if I understand correctly, I have to create a precision design to add this formatting, right?

    Hi Abdullah T

    Yes, an auto design works well for that quick report solution when you need to mainly get some data out fast and the users aren't too picky on how it looks.  

    In your case , you need to use precision design.
