SSRS Report: How Do I Change the Format of "TransDate" from (mm/dd/yyyy) TO (dd/mm/yyyy) Form in My Report?

Hello awesome community i'm new to AX and report development i'm still learning and I seek your help if you please :)

I'm developing an SSRS report using DP class, I have a "TransDate" field from LedgerJournalTrans Table but it shows on like this:

I have tried to change it in Visual Studio using this window:

HElp-new-7.PNG 

But it did not have a dd/mm/yyyy option unfortunately.

I believe it should be done in DP class with code, if you show me the code or refer me to a reference, it would be appreciated

Thanks in advance!

    You can use the function: Date2Str().

    Is a global function and you can set the parameters to return the value the way you need:

    static void Job2(Args _args)

    {

       date currentDate = today();

       str s;

       int iEnum;

       ;

       s = date2Str

           (currentDate,

           321,

           DateDay::Digits2,

           DateSeparator::Hyphen, // separator1

           DateMonth::Digits2,

           DateSeparator::Hyphen, // separator2

           DateYear::Digits4

           );

       info("Today is:  " + s);

    }

    /** Example Infolog output

    Message (12:36:21 pm)

    Today is:  2009-01-13

    **/

    Hi,

    You can do this in many ways, without any line of code.

    with the current way, that you are trying, select the last choice called 'Custom' and then in the empty box add dd/MM/yyyy

    that should work for you.

    Hi Momochi...

    I can see two ways to achieve your goal:

    1. You can use TextBox expression and use following command: =FORMAT(Fields!Dataset_Field_Name_Here.Value,"dd/MM/yyyy")

    2. Use TextBox Custom format as presented on following screen:

    Let me know if any of the above works for you.

    Hi Momochi,

    Sohaib Cheema is right no need to write code in DP class. You can achieve this by Custom option in format put "dd/MM/yyyy"
