SSRS - Applying multiple Parameters (date) to Reports

Are you running the query directly in the data set, or passing those dates to a Stored Procedure?

Where are you based, Convert 103 is British/French date, have you tried without the convert as it should try to match your server environment?  Could explain why the day and month is backwards as these would be reversed in British.  Still strange as you are converting both sides to get consistency.

Maybe try converting as type 121 is this is a more generic format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.mmm

I am running the query directly in the data set

.   Passing one report parameter... which is working fine
.   Passing two parameters (start and the end dates) to the query in data set... This is where I am facing problems...

I've converted to type 121 but issue remains the same:

WHEN I SELECT DATES FROM THE CALENDER, DAY AND MONTH GET SWITCHED... BUT WHEN I APPLY THE FOLLOWING FOMAT MANNUALLY IT WORKS FINE (DD/MM/YYY)

Please advice...

Thanks

I haven't deployed it to the server yet,... still using BIDS...

Thanks

OK, might be worth deploying the report as it stands, and then you may have more luck

I've deployed it to the server

Good news: It's working fine for me

Challenge: other users are getting an error message when they select dates from the calender or enter dates in the format (mm/dd/YYY)

here is the message that they are getting:

The value provided for the report parameter 'FROM_DATE' is not valid for its type. (rsReportParameterTypeMismatch)

but when they change the format to dd/mm/yyy it works for them too...

Please advice...

I am using following to filter in the dataset query

trans_dt  BETWEEN convert(datetime,@FROM_DATE,121) and convert(datetime,@TO_DATE, 121)

Thanks

OK, a bit closer anyway. Does it now work for you from both BIDS and the server?

This is likely down to a regional setting in the Users internet browsers, which means the default date sent is in the format mm/dd/YYYY, and this is used in the calendar too as it's the default.
It sounds like the users are set up for US, but the report server is expecting a British/European date?

Or I guess it could be the conversion, but I think you would get a different error in that case.


Steps to Reproduce:

1.) Create a report with a date time parameter. Set the initial value to =Today()
2.) Configure the Internet Explorer Language Settings to default US
3.) Open the Report through the Report Viewer (http://servername:port/reportserver)
4.) Change the date value through the date time picker

See if this reproduces (rsReportParameterTypeMismatch), and then try with British default on the browser.

it worked on the server

OK great, I have been caught out by this one before, and worked on it all day before deploying it on the server!

Thanks again
