How do I build an expression in SSRS that only captures the Month and Year and not the day from a datestamp field?
I am trying to create a Month To Date column in SSRS. I have a date timestamp field, I also created a Month field and a Year field in hopes of solving my own problem. I didn't.
I have an expression built that allows me to capture the month and it works, but in my data set I have July data for both 2013 and 2014. This expression I only want to capture 2014.
=Count(IIF(Fields!Date_Month.Value = Month(Today()), Fields!AcctNo.Value, Nothing),
"Eligibility")
and I got it to work for the Year:
=Count(IIF(Fields!Year.Value = Year(Today()), Fields!AcctNo.Value, Nothing),
"Eligibility")
Can I somehow combine the 2 expressions? Should I?
Orrrrrrrrrr
I have tried to use my datestamp field to no avial: I get #Error with this abomination
=Count(IIF(Fields!Datestamp.Value = Month(Today()), Fields!AcctNo.Value,
Nothing), "Eligibility")
I'd think the preferred way is to use my above datestamp field and parse out the month and year. It's the way I'd do it....if I knew how to actually do it.
As you've suggested, you can combine the two expressions you have to get your required result with a few small changes:
=Count(IIf(Year(Fields!Datestamp.Value) = Year(Today)
and Month(Fields!Datestamp.Value) = Month(Today)
, Fields!AcctNo.Value
, Nothing)
, "Eligibility")
This will count all rows in the Dataset that have the same year and month as the current date.

I'm trying to come up with an SSRS expression to return a previous value from the year prior. As you can see in the screenshot, I'm trying to return the value of 22 in the "Prior Year Actual" column. This value aligns with April 2020. The last month I have in the dataset currently is April 2021. Essentially I want to return the value from the year prior based on the last column of April 2021.
Can anyone help with this? Greatly appreciated!
If your month fields are dates in a column group, you could get the MAX date and add it to the dataset.
DECLARE #MAX_DATE DATE = (SELECT MAX(DATE_FIELD) FROM TABLE)
SELECT *, #MAX_DATE AS MAX_DATE
FROM TABLE
Then your expression could use the new field to make it work like you want.
=MAX(IIF(Fields!Date.Value = DATEADD("y", -1, Fields!MAX_DATE.Value), Fields!COLUMN.Value, NOTHING))
This worked! Thank you very much Hannover for your expression suggestion!!
=MAX(IIF(Fields!DateTest.Value= DATEADD("yyyy", -1, MAX(Fields!DateTest.Value)), Fields!Operating_Days.Value, NOTHING))
I have an SSRS report that has all 12 months as columns and one more column called "Year". I already have a condition set that takes the current month of the report run date and displays only the months that have passed. For example, the expression looks like this for March =IIF(Month(today()) < 3, True, False).
Now I have to tie this to the Year column as well. The condition is- if the Year column has years prior to the current year, the condition above should not apply. So, if I am running 2020 data today, all 12 month columns should appear. If I am running 2021 data, I should only see the January column. Can some one please help me with this? And yes, there will only be one year in the "Year" column. The data will never have more than one year.
Thank you.
Edit 1:
If the report is run for 2020, the data should look like this on the report.
If it is run for 2021, only the YEAR and JANUARY columns should appear. Starting February of this year, YEAR, JANUARY, AND FEBRUARY should appear.
As your dataset is not normalised, you will have to set the column visibility on each column as you are doing already.
Try using the following expression. (using March as an exmaple)
=(Month(today()) < 3 AND MAX(Fields!Year.Value, "DataSet1") = YEAR(Today())
Note: The "DataSet1" reference is the name of your dataset. It is case sensitive and must be enclosed in quotes as shown above.
There is no need for the IIF() expression as the above will return true if either condition is met.
Alternative
If your data was normalised (you may be able to edit your dataset query) and looked something like this...
Year Month Amount
2021 1 10
2021 2 15
Then you could simply use a matrix instead of a table, and have a column group by month. There would be no need to set visibility on anything as the data simply is not there so no column would be rendered for the months with no data.
If today is 5/2 I want to see last month's data for 4/1.
For tomorrow on 5/3 I want to see last month's data for 4/2, etc
I want to modify the code to not show me today's value for same time last month, I want the day before today.
I got this far from another question asked here.
SSRS Prior Month, MTD Same period as current month
=sum(IIf(Year(Fields!AppDateActualDate.Value) = Year(DateAdd("d",-1, Now).AddMonths(-3)) And Month(Fields!AppDateActualDate.Value) = Month(DateAdd("d",-1, Now).AddMonths(-3)) AND DatePart("d", Fields!AppDateActualDate.Value) <= Dateadd("d",-1, Now), Fields!Application_Count.Value, Nothing), )
I'd create a new data set (assuming you are using SQL as your data source) and create a default date you are after.. simple as this:
select dateadd(day,-1, dateadd(month,-1, convert(date,getdate()))) as default_date
Then use this date as your parameter for your report.
That is the start date.. not clear as to what you want your end date to be..
I'm trying to sum a net balance based on the earliest date in an SSRS report. In this case there are only 2 dates, but there can be more dates not more than 7 days.
Here's a sample of my data:
Here's what I'm trying to get with the earliest date of 10/26/15:
I've tried the following code, but not able to get this to work:
=Sum(IIf(DateDiff("d",Fields!SettleFullDate.Value,today())>=7
and DateDiff("d", Fields!SettleFullDate.Value, today())<7
and Fields!SETTLEBALANCE.Value>0), Fields!SETTLEBALANCE.Value, 0)
Update: I tried the code below and keep getting an error on the report. Could it be that I need to change the date field to an integer?
Thanks in advance for your help!
To compare the sum of values of two dates, the maximum and minimum in a set you can use the following equation
=Sum(iif(Fields!myDate.Value = Max(Fields!myDate.Value), Fields!myVal.Value, 0))
-Sum(iif(Fields!myDate.Value = MIN(Fields!myDate.Value), Fields!myVal.Value, 0))
This Sums all the values that match the maximum date in the dataset together, and sums all the values that match the minimum date in the dataset together, and takes one from the other.
It is irrespective of which dates you ask to be received, the above approach will work only against the records that you return to SSRS. So if you have a filter (WHERE clause) to return records between Date1 and Date2 this will still apply (Note - don't actually use 'Between' in the query)
Rather than using the maximum and minimum dates as listed here, you could also calculate a date similar to your original approach using
dateadd("d", -7, Fields!MySpecificDate.Value)
And insert that to the expression above.
Hopefully this is what you require - if not please let me know.
I have some records in a query with a column of dates. I want it to only show the records that occur in March. This link
https://support.office.com/en-US/Article/Examples-of-query-criteria-3197228c-8684-4552-ac03-aba746fb29d8#bm1 shows the different types of criterion.
The one below in the table describes how to show only what occurs in a particular month:
"Contain a date that falls in a specific month (irrespective of year), such as December
DatePart("m", [SalesDate]) = 12
Returns records where the transactions took place in December of any year."
I don't know what the SalesDate means in the criteria function, and there isn't any explanation on the page.
[SalesDate] implied a Date/Time field named SalesDate. If your Date/Time field is named something else, such as invoice_date, substitute that name in the DatePart expression:
DatePart("m", [invoice_date]) = 12
For March instead of December invoices, use this:
DatePart("m", [invoice_date]) = 3
You could also use Month() instead of DatePart to get the same result:
Month([invoice_date]) = 3
