Change SSRS date to UK date format
Hi,
I have read a number of the other questions regarding this topic but I cant work out how to do what I need.
I am new to SSRS reporting, using Microsoft Visual Studio and have inherited a report that includes the following to display a date:
=FormatDateTime(First(Fiel
The date is produced in the following format:
Friday, April 07, 2014.
Under properties the number format is dd/MM/yyyy however I cant get the date to appear how I would like which would be the UK date 07/04/2014
Could anybody tell me the settings I need to change to achieve that please.
If I have left out any necessary information please say.
Thank you

I just discovered in your link that the 2 in the SQL query means ANSI date, so I changed it to a 3 for UK date, but it just produced 12:00:00 AM instead!
I have found an order date in another report that looks like this and produces the type of date I want ie. 07/04/14:
=iif(isnothing(Fields!Orde
Can I modify this one somehow so that it will work in the first report?

Hi,
The expression you used above just produces the result on the report "dd/MM/yyyy"
Sorry, I am new to this, am I missing something I should have put in in place of "dd/MM/yyyy" ?

Erm, that's weird? Where did you put that expression? It should be put as content of the textbox, so not in the Format property... Is that what you did?
ASKER
I created a textbox and the expression is within it.
What happens if you use the following expression?
=Format(Now(), "dd/MM/yyyy")SOLUTION

The CDate function converts your OrderDate field to the date type so it confirms what I stated in comment #a39988272.
Disregarding the conversion, the final solution you've mentioned is using the method first described in comment #a39986097.
So a possible closure is your last comment as accepted with the two comments above as assisted...
