I have a report that I need to show the last 4 weeks of totals that I would like them to be 'week ending 18/12, 11/12 , 4/12 and 27/11 etc'
is there a way that I can hard code these into my report expression so they will auto change every week.
About the date formatting issue : there should be 2 good options for this.
First option is to use the "Format" property of a component and enter d/MM.
Second option is to use the Format expression as such : =Format(Now(), "d/MM") where you have to replace the Now() with your date. Note that if you get an error with this expression, you might need to wrap it with a CDate : =Format(CDate(Now()), "d/MM")

Good day
I am very very new two paginated reports so forgive me if this is a silly question
I have a report that displays values for Mondays to Fridays based on the date selected from a date picker.
So basically
You select a date (Example 24 Nov) and the following table is displayed based on values pulled from SQL.
Now my question is how do I display the dates of the weekdays too?
So if the date selected is Thursday 24 Nov, in the column headers under the week day names it should give the corresponding date i.e Monday-21/11/2022, Tuesday - 22/11/2022, etc.
Below is a little snippet of the data
So the date picker is based on the ReportingDate column. The rows of the matrix consist of Region and Country and the values are the sum of Monday-Friday.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: The day names are not obtained via an expression in SSRS. They carry over from the column headers in the data set.
Assuming you have some expression to get the actual day name already, you can leave that bit as it is.
Now, double click the column header "cell"/textbox to get a cursor in there, then click at the end of the existing fields/expression.
Now just put a space in and then right-click and choose "Create Placeholder". The placeholder dialog will appear.
This placeholder acts almost like a separate textbox to you can put whatever you want in there, click the '[fc]' button next to the Value property and then set this to whatever you want, e.g. =Fields!ReportingDate.Value.
Now go to the "number" tab on the same dialog box and set the format to the required date format.
If you want to edit this later, just double click the cell again but this time right-click the placeholder and choose properties.
The other way of doing this would be to add another row to your header and set that to be the date instead but then you have to mess around removing borders etc., sometimes this can be easier if layout is an issue but you have a couple of options at least now.
I managed to figure it out with the help of the following post.
These are the steps I followed
Get the date of the first day of the current week (Sunday's date) using the formula explained in the link
DateAdd("d",1- DatePart("w", CDate(Parameters!ReportingDate.Value)), CDate(Parameters!ReportingDate.Value))
Use DateAdd to add the corresponding number of days to get to a required weekday. That is for Monday add 1, Tuesday add 2,...
DateAdd("d",1,DateAdd("d",1- DatePart("w", CDate(Parameters!ReportingDate.Value)), CDate(Parameters!ReportingDate.Value)))
Format datetime to date and add new line to insert date below day name
="Monday" + Environment.NewLine + FormatDateTime(DateAdd("d",1,DateAdd("d",1- DatePart("w", CDate(Parameters!ReportingDate.Value)), CDate(Parameters!ReportingDate.Value))), DateFormat.ShortDate)
I am trying to hide a column on my ssrs report based on a condition that the current month aka month(today()) is a specific integer.
For example, I have to hide "column11" until November 1st and "column12" until December 1st.
Thank you.
Have in mind hiding some columns could result in duplicate values into your report, especially if those columns are the ones making unique your rows.
Now for your specific case you can use:
=IIf(
(Month(Today()) >= 2 AND Day(Today()) >=5)
AND
(Month(Today()) <= 3 AND Day(Today()) <=4)
,true,false)
In ssrs when you right click column you will find column visibility option.
There you can write expression for hiding I.e if true it will hide column, if false then will
Show column.
Expression will be something like below.
IIF(Month(today())<11,true,false)
And for December it will be
IIF(Month(today())<12,true,false)
Note: this is pseudo code and may have typo error
I would like to re-create a line chart in SSRS like the one below (created in excel)
Target vs Revenue
I can re-create the running value (green line - revenue) but I have no idea how to do the straight target line (grey one) that should end at the end of the current month. The value for this line comes from a text parameter (I type in the target for current month manually), so ideally this should be a running value of the parameter number divided by the number of days for this month ending on the last day.
Can I have an angled StripLine to achieve that or shall I use an expression, if so, can you help me to build it, please?
Thank you for your help.
This answer assumes you know what month you are running the report for and you can therefore determine the number of days in that month. I won;t cover that here, ask a new question if you can't do that.
To create your target line, open your dataset properties, click the 'Fields' tab and Add a new field.
Call the new field Target or whatever you want and hit the fx button next to field source. Set the field source to following expression.
=(Parameters!Target.Value/31) * DAY(Fields!myRevenueDateField.Value)
You will just need to swap out the 31 for the actual number of days in the month, and the correct date fields from your dataset.
I used some sample data in my test with a target of 3000 and got the following result.
I am trying to sort data by the week it was created. I can not use 'w' in DateAdd, 'week' or 'WeekOfYear' without an error stating that function/expression is inaccessible.
What is the best way to create a substitute expression? I want the expression to group the dates based on the week it was created.
I am trying to replicate this:

Based on the expected results you posted in the edition of your question I have reproduced the tablix.
I've used the following dataset:
I am supposing you are going to use a tablix component so I added this one with the following data arrangement.
In the Row Groups panel right click on date group.
In group properties, add a group expression and set this:
=DATEADD("d",7-DATEPART(DateInterval.Weekday,Fields!date.Value),Fields!date.Value)
Also in the tablix you have to set the same expression:
In the columns you want to sum you can use the Sum function or any aggregation function. I've used =Sum(Fields!value.Value) to Sum values within the same week.
This is the result it will preview:
Let me know if this was helpful.
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
Converting month number to month name in reporting services
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)
