Please could someone help me in getting the below issue sorted?
I am looking for a default Date Parameter (Start Date) to be Last 30 days from Today along with the Time e.g 30 days from now is 24/05/2016 but would like to include Time as well
24/05/2016 07:00:00
I have an expression which only give me Last 30 days date Expression i have is =DateAdd("d",-29,Today())
Regards
Try:
=Now.AddDays(-30)
UPDATE: Default time
=Today.AddDays(-30).AddHours(7)
Let me know if this helps.

I am looking for an expression that will allow to me find the date of Monday of the week of my Date Field, to be used in a filter for a tablix.
Example, my date field today is 22/01/2019. I would like an expression that will return 21/01/2019. If the date was 26/01/2019, it should still return 21/01/2019.
For next week 31/01/2019 would return 28/01/2019.
Week starting Monday going to Sunday.
If its also possible for a similiar expression but to find the beginning of the month as well?
Is that possible?
Many thanks
To get the date of last Monday that occurred you can use something like
=Today.AddDays(1-WeekDay(Today(),FirstDayOfWeek.Monday))
and for the first of the month its just
=DateSerial(Year(Today()), Month(Today()), 1)
Both the above are based on the today() function, if you need them based on a date parameter, then the expression is a little different but your question stated "today".
monday of the week use the following expression:
DateAdd("d",DatePart(DateInterval.WeekDay,Fields!myDatefield.Value,0,0)+1,Fields!myDatefield.Value)
first day of the month use the following expression:
=DateAdd("d",-(Day(Fields!myDatefield.Value)-1), Fields!myDatefield.Value)
Basically I just need to know how much time has passed from a certain time that day till Now() this will be run on a timer throughout the day and used to determine when something should be run (this might seem odd but there is logic behind it).
The issue with the code below is that it gives me a very high negative number. I can only assume that this is caused from the TimeSerial not actually containing a date and only the time so it throws everything off.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a way to do what I want? I am certain that the answer is something super simple that I am missing but I haven't been able to find it.
DateDiff("n",Now(),TimeSerial(07,0,0))
You want the number of minutes from 7 AM until now. Your DateDiff had those two swapped around and that's why you got a negative value.
The reason the magnitude of that number was so large is you were asking for the difference between 07:00 on Dec 30 1899 and today. This is what that TimeSerial expression gives you ...
? Format(TimeSerial(07,0,0), "mmm d yyyy, hh:nn:ss")
Dec 30 1899, 07:00:00
I think this is what you want instead ...
DateDiff("n", Date + #07:00#, Now)
any advice appreciated
I have as a column heading the expression =WeekdayName(weekday(fields!date.value))
This returns the day of the week, however, it is returning a day of the week one day in advance, eg when I put Monday's dates in the parameter it shows as 'Tuesday' in the report.
My question is can the above expression be tweaked to show the WeekdayName one day before, eg =WeekdayName(weekday(fields!date.value -1)) ? I tried this but got an error.
Thanks.
So you want to subtract one day from the your incoming date then you can use the
= DateAdd("d", -1, yourdateField)
This way you can subtract the any number of days from your date.
But did you try to see why it is giving the day of previous date. Do check the system date time or else check with the
=WeekdayName(weekday(Today()))
and see if it gives you the correct day of week for current date.
Weekday and weekdayname functions have both another optional argument for defining the starting day of the week.
Problem is the 2 functions don' t default this argument to the same value so depending on your server settings you should explicitly set the second argument of these functions.
No need to invoke a date function. As the weekday() function returns and integer you can offset the result and use the Mod operator to keep it in bounds:
=WeekdayName((weekday(fields!date.value)+5) Mod 7)+1)
The parenthesis are important to ensure the addition comes first.
Just for reference:
OP asked again because of the weekday offset and this is the correct provided solution.
=WeekdayName(weekday(Today())) gives me tomorrow
=WeekdayName(Weekday(Today(),FirstDayOfWeek.System))
i need to calculate the number of worked days in a particular month. i have start date and end date depending on this i have to calculate the worked days in particular month. in ssrs report please help me with a ssrs expression to solve the problem.
i have a logic to do this but how to do it in a SSRS expression is a problem.
the logic is:
if(start date is in January than
start date-31/1/2014)
//this will give me the worked days in January
if(start date is not in January
start date-1/1/2014 //this gives me working days till January
(total working days)-( start date-1/1/2014)//this gives me working days after January 1
if((total working days)-( start date-1/1/2014)>31
then my answer is 31 days worked in January.
i have to convert this logic in to ssrs expression, is it possible?
is there any alternate way to do this ?
please help me with this.
I need current month name as default perameter name in my ssrs report. How can I get current month name using an ssrs expression?
For example "27-09-2012" would become "September"
and one more i need....
27-09-2012 to previous month name as well (August)
First question:
=MonthName(Month(Fields!datefield.Value))
Second question:
=MonthName(Month(DateAdd("m", -1, Today())))
I think the second question answer might be something like that, first converting the date to month then subtracting 1 from the month value and then converting it to month name.
Further reading:
SSRS Reports get Month name from Month Index or from date

OFF: I would change the date format you are using to 2012-09-27 as it works in every setting and should give you peace of mind when converting date formats.
Don't subtract 1 b/c it won't work for January.
Use this:
MonthName(Month(DateAdd("m", -1, CDate(Today))))
As a note, I tried the suggestion of =MonthName(Month(today())). What I would get is #error for whatever field the expression was in. However, =MonthName(str(Month(today()))) worked for me. I am unsure of whether or not the MonthName method changed to require a string or if it is some issue with my program. Just figured I would post this in case anyone else was having the same issue.
For Previous Month i found universal way : =MonthName(Month(CDate(Today()))-1,False) for SEPTEMBER (Full Month Name) 'OR'
=MonthName(Month(CDate(Today()))-1,True) for SEP (Short Month Name)
