SSRS filter date time not working

Report SSRS in window 10 and open from IE 11
my computer filter date not working (not show image calendars)
How to fixed .
thank you.
Expanding on WEI_DBA, it looks like you need to set the default value of your Start Date parameter to ="3/16/2017 0:00:00" since your date format has months and days reversed.
Note that this can be confusing when you have a server with a different region setting than your workstation. The report is fine to develop locally and will then generate this error when deployed to your server.
In the parameter pane, right-click on Start Date and select Parameter Properties. Find "Data Type:" in the middle of the dialog and change the drop down to be Date/Time. Do the same for End date.
A date/time parameter will will show the date picker and will ensure you are passing a properly structured date value into your dataset query, regardless of your culture/language settings.

Email SSRS Report as Excel Attachment On Demand

I have the following request from a client for feature to add to an SSRS report. I'm not sure it's possible to do what he's asking for. I haven't been able to find a way to do this after many Google searches, so I'm asking here - here's what he wants:
We would like a button added below “View Report” to send the report as an excel attachment to the CT Logistics inbox(copied here).
We would like a box added so the PM can enter their name and be CC’d to the sent report email.
The subject line of the email should be the study number “C####” plus “initiation Supplies”.
As far as I can determine, there's no way to add a "Send Email" button as he requests, I can only have the report send email every time it runs. I have no clue how to add a box for someone to enter their name to be CC'd on an email - I don't even know if that's possible. As for the subject line, the study number is part of the data set for the report, so I could put it into a data-driven subscription, but I don't see a way to add an Excel attachment of the report using that method.
Can anyone point me to the way to fulfill the user's requests, or else confirm that what he's asking for can't be done? I'm using VS 2005 and SQL Server 2008 R2 (this is what we have at work, I can't update the versions).
Thanks!
I think the closest you'll be able to do is the Data-Driven Description to e-mail an Excel report at a given time with the subject and filename (if needed) that includes the study number.
It won't be on demand nor will it be CC'd to any additional people.
Now that I think about it, you could query a table for the person to be CC'd. The table could be populated before run time.
New idea - add a CC parameter to your report with the default as null. When the report is run the first time, it won;t do anything since the parameter is null. When your report is re-run with the parameter, your dataset query populates a table with the CC address and timestamp before running the regular query. Your data-driven subscription runs every 5 minutes and sees the new record in the table and fires using the CC field.
IF ISNULL(#CCPARAMETER, '') <> ''
INSERT INTO YourCCTable
VALUES (#CCPARAMETER, GETDATE() )
... <Your query>

Pentaho Report Designer shows Year as comma separated value

I am using Pentaho Report Designer to show user logs. I created a data connection in MySQL :
MySQL field name: activity_date
MySQL field type: timestamp
value: 2013-01-01 00:00:00
Query: "SELECT YEAR(activity_date) AS year....."
gives me an output of 2013.
But in the report template it shows 2,013. So I tried to change my SQL query to
SELECT CAST(YEAR(activity_date ) AS CHAR) AS year
but on changing this, Report Designer shows empty value in that column.
Click on the field in the report designer and check its format in the attributes tab (usually on the bottom right side). Just use # if you don't need a comma.
I had the same problem. I solved the problem by creating the report again, by using the Report Design Wizard. In the last step of the wizard (which is called Format step), fill the Data format input with the string #.

Adding Date as Optional Parameter with NULL Check Box in SSRS

I have report with date range as the parameters, User can narrow the results by selecting the date range. Now user want to make the date range fields optional. I enabled "Allow NUlls", user can gary out the date range parameters. The report is returning Zero records after selecting the Check BOX(Graying out the date fields)
I Follwed below ling to fix this, but while Im editing the Formula window, its either throwing END of formula expected ot Sysntax error over ':' .
I copied below code in the Edit as Formula window
OR(FIND(Fund_Project_Date, Parameter:Fund_Project_Date) <> 0, Parameter: Fund_Project_Date = EMPTY)

Software used:
SSRS 2008 R2 , Report developed from Report Model edited through Report builder 3.0
Thanks in advance
I found it . the solution is "=IIF(Isnothing(Parameters!ItemWorkflow_CUWC_Event_Date.Value),"12/12/1900",Para‌​meters!ItemWorkflow_CUWC_Event_Date.Value)" at Dataset properties level not at Query Designer Filter level. Thanks every one.
You need to use a ! not a :
Hope this helps.

Reporting Services

I have report Which default runs for current month, on the report itself i have created two labels called Prev and Next. if i click on Prev label then it should create a Report for March month and if i click on Next it should give the report for the Month May. How can i achieve this in Reporting services .Kindly help me with this one?
If you're not doing so already, make sure the report accepts a date parameter (which defaults to today's date) and use that to determine which month to retrieve the data for.
The rest should be relatively easy:
First, right-click on your "Next" TextBox and bring up its properties dialog. There's a tab there called "Navigation". On the Navigation tab you can specify a report to which that TextBox should link ("Jump to report"). Choose the same report that you're currently working on.
Now click the "Parameters" button to specify the parameters you want to pass to the report you're linking to. Choose the date parameter from the list of available parameters, and for its value, use an expression like this:
=dateadd("m", 1, Parameters!Date.Value)
(I've assumed that your parameter's name is "Date" there.)
So you're effectively linking to the same report, but adding one month to the date it's running for. Obviously the "Prev" TextBox works the same way except pass -1 to the dateadd call.
For a more ".NET" expression, you could also try this code:
=CDate(Parameters!Date.Value).AddMonths(1)
I'm fairly certain that will accomplish the same thing, and might be a tad more readable.
You might also want to style those TextBoxes so that they look like hyperlinks to the end user (blue/underlined, perhaps, depending on your standards).
