Formatting SSRS output with multiple dates - reporting-services

I have used a Join LookupSet expression to return multiple dates in a cell with a carriage return separating them. There can be between 0 and 4 results in the output. Unfortunately this refuses to use anything but the default date output which is MM/DD/YYYY. I'm in the UK so need DD/MM/YYYY. Do I need to add something to the expression to force the UK format? TIA
Expression:
=Join(LookupSet(Fields!HOUSEHOLD_ID.Value,Fields!HOUSEHOLD_ID.Value,Fields!Placement_Start_Dates.Value, "Placements"),vbcrlf)
Example output:
2/14/2020
12/11/2019
12/24/2019

I think you just need to wrap your returned value with Format().
So this should
work.
=Join(LookupSet(Fields!HOUSEHOLD_ID.Value,Fields!HOUSEHOLD_ID.Value,Format(Fields!Placement_Start_Dates.Value,”dd/MM/yyyy”), "Placements"),vbcrlf)

how to get last date between two dates SSRS

For Example i have two Parameters of Date
first: 1/21/2016
Second: 4/21/2017
I want to get second date.Is it possible through any SSRS Expression?
Yes. Assuming that the names of the parameters are First and Second, then you can access the values using the following expression.
=Parameters!First.Value
=Parameters!Second.Value
You can use this type of expression for any parameter, of any type, as long as you know the name.

Simple sum in a calculated control MS-access

Trying to get the sum of three fields and enter it in a fourth text box on the same report. For a particular report,
empnose =78
empright=555
empleft= 565
The total text box should be 1198
using the expression
=Sum([EmpNose] And [EmpRight] And [EmpLeft])
the result is -4
using the expression
=Sum([EmpNose]+[EmpLeft]+[EmpRight])
the result is 226514940
using the expression
=([EmpNose]+[EmpLeft]+[EmpRight])
the result is 78555565 (the three values concatenated)
What is the correct syntax?
If you want to add up the values of the current record only, Sum() is wrong, because it sums over all records.
=([EmpNose]+[EmpLeft]+[EmpRight])
should be correct. If it concatenates the values it seems your fields are text fields instead of numbers?
If you can't change the datatypes to numbers, you can try
=(Val([EmpNose]) + Val([EmpLeft]) + Val([EmpRight]))
The Val() function tries to convert a string to a number.

Date field filter is not working in Row Group level filter

I have added a Filter in Row Group-> Group Properties to perform sum of quantity only for those transactions which have done before a certain date.
Whenever I am selecting the 'Cdate' as Expression field from my dataset1, the type is showing as Date/Time but after saving it when I check,I found it as 'Text'. As a result the filter for 'cDate' is not working during report generation.
Note that, I can't filter the data in dataset side or tablix side as I have to show all the column items. This is a matrix report.
OK this is going to be a bit confusing because your dataset contains a field with the same name as one of the built-in expression functions ("CDate" - Convert to Date).
I sometimes run into these datatype issues when using filters and I find the best way to handle it is to force both the filter field and the filter value to be the same data type.
So in your case try setting the Filter expression to:
=CDate(Fields!CDate.Value)
then select the operator as "<=" and set the value using an expression as well:
=CDate(Parameters!MyParameter.value)
and see if that works.
I understand you so that your date field in the dataset is called CDate, try casting it as date, so instead of selecting it in your filter, type the following into the filter
=CDate(Fields!CDate.Value)

Use a summary field in an expression in SSRS reports

I have the details of my report being summed up in a summary expression, all works fine. The fields are decimal values of hours worked. Thus, the summary value is also a decimal value. I'd like to access the summary value and convert it to hours / minutes. I've labeled the express as "WorkTimeSum", but can't seem to get a handle to it, however. Fields! obviously won't work since it is a summary expression. I was thinking ReportItems! should work, but to no avail. How can I use this expression field (in a summary row) in an expression in the same summary row?
If I've understood correctly, you're asking how to reference the textbox containing the total work hours value so that you can convert it to hours and minutes using an expression in a different textbox?
You can use either ReportItems! e.g.
=ReportItems!Textbox20.Value)
or ReportItems("") e.g.
=ReportItems("Textbox20").Value
to reference the value of another textbox. Be careful with the names as they are case sensitive.
You can use aggregate functions in any expression. For example, in any header rows you can use the following expression to determine the total hours value:
=Floor(Sum(Fields!hours.Value))
Sum(Fields!hours.Value) is just the total hours in whatever context, e.g. the group total if it's a group header row; you can use this expression as an input in any other expression you require.
It sounds like your issue wasn't the conversion itself, so hopefully this points you in the right direction. If you need further information please specify.

how do i make addition of two fields in ssrs expression?

I have generated one ssrs report
now i have two fields having values
1st field value is =Fields!FirstNO.Value
2nd field value is =Fields!SecondNO.Value
now i have one field average and i need to write expression like
average = (Fields!FirstNO.Value+Fields!SecondNO.Value) / (Fields!SecondNO.Value)
how can i write above in expression?? directly as i shown or any other syntax is there please help?
Are you sure these fields are numeric? Maybe try convert to numeric, like =cint(Fields!FirstNO.Value)
