SSRS Date Time Expressions

Date Time Functions of SSRS:

Below are Data time functions which are used in SSRS expressions:

To get current date and time according to system: 

Time:

=Format(CDate(Globals!ExecutionTime), "MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm.ss") 

Date:

=FORMAT(Cdate(today), "dd-MM-yyyy")

Today() - Returns or sets a Date value containing the current date according to your system:

=Today()

="Tomorrow is " & DateAdd("d",1,Today())

="Tomorrow is " & DateAdd(DateInterval.Day,1,Today())

Now() - Returns or sets a Date value containing the current date according to your system.

=Now()

="This time tomorrow is " & DateAdd("d",1,Now())

="This time tomorrow is " & DateAdd(DateInterval.Day,1,Now())

MonthName - Returns a String value containing the name of the specified month.

=MonthName(10,True)

=MonthName(Month(Fields!BirthDate.Value),False)

="The month of your birthday is "&MonthName(Month(Fields!BirthDate.Value))

WeekDayName - Returns a String value containing the name of the specified weekday.

=WeekdayName(2,True,0)

=WeekDayName(DatePart("w",Fields!BirthDate.Value),True,0)

=WeekDayName(DatePart(DateInterval.Weekday,Fields!BirthDate.Value),True,FirstDayOfWeek.System)

Year  - Returns an Integer value from 1 through 9999 representing the year.

=Year(Fields!BirthDate.Value)

To format Date values through expressions:

=Format(Today(),"dd-MM-yyyy") --- 23-10-2015

=Format(today(),"dd/MM/yyyy") --- 23/10/2015

=Format(today(),"MMM-dd-yyyy") --- Oct-23-2015

=Format(today(),"MMM-dd-yy") --- Oct-23-15

=FORMAT(Today(),"M/d/yy") ---10/23/15

=FORMAT(Today(),"MM-dd-yyyy") ---10-23-2015

=FORMAT(Today(),"MMM-dd-yyyy") Oct-23-2015 

=FORMAT(Today(),"MMMM dd, yyyy") ---October 23, 2015 =FORMAT(DateField,"MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss") ---Oct 23, 2015 01:43:33 =FORMAT(DateField,"MMM dd, yyyy HH:mm:ss") ---Oct 23, 2015 13:43:33 =FORMAT(DateField,"MMM dd, yyyy HH:mm:ss.fff") ---Oct 23, 2015 13:43:33.587

=FORMAT(DateField,"MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss tt") ---Oct 23, 2015 01:43:33 PM

To add/substract date or time(day, month, year, sec etc.) with given date field we can use DateADD function in SSRS expression, which returns a Date value containing a date and time value to which a specified time interval has been added:

=DateAdd(DateInterval.Month, 6, Today())

=DateAdd("d",3,Fields!BirthDate.Value)

=DateAdd(DateInterval.Day,3,Fields!BirthDate.Value)

DateDiff - function returns a Long value specifying the number of time intervals between two Date values.

=DateDiff("yyyy",Fields!BirthDate.Value,"1/1/2010")

=DateDiff(DateInterval.Year,Fields!BirthDate.Value,"1/1/2010")

DatePart - Returns an Integer value containing the specified component of a given Date value.

=DatePart("q",Fields!BirthDate.Value,0,0)

=DatePart(DateInterval.Quarter,Fields!BirthDate.Value,FirstDayOfWeek.System,FirstWeekOfYear.System)

To get first day of current Week:

=DateAdd("d",-DatePart(DateInterval.WeekDay,Today,0,0)+1,Today)

To get first day of current Month:

=DateAdd("d",-(Day(today)-1), Today)

=DateSerial( year(today()), month(today()), 1)

Error: The report server isn’t configured properly, SSRS report deployment error.

Error:

The service is not available.

The report server isn’t configured properly. Contact your system administrator to resolve the issue. 

System administrators: The report server can’t connect to its database because it doesn’t have permission to do so. 

Solution:

Use Reporting Services Configuration Manager to update the report server database credentials.

This issue "The report server can’t connect to its database because it doesn’t have permission" might occur if the account that the report server uses to connect to the report server database is:

• Disabled or Locked.
• Its password has changed recently.
• It doesn't have owner permission on the Report Server databases (its permission has revoked).
• This Report Server account can be one of the below types:
• Windows domain user account.
• SQL Server account.
• The same service account that used to run the Power BI Report Server service.

And, you can find the current report server account login type at

Report Server Configuration Manager > Database > current report server database credential:

Update your current credential or add admin credential.

Row Number or Serial Number for grid - SSRS Report expression

show or hide the "Select" button in a parameter dialog when we run the report - SSRS Report

Hi,

This below code will help you to show or hide the "Select" button in a parameter dialog when we run the ssrs report.

We just need to add this method in controller class.

New line in ssrs report function, expression

Hi,

In SSRS report, to give a new line in between words then we can use vbCrLf.
