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)

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)
i need to create parameter list of months and then (after select) recalculate two others paramateres in date format ([first day] and [last day]) of this month, can you please help me?
You are querying a database server to generate the list of months, although there's no need to do that. I suggest to rather create a list of months in the report and let the report calculate the month's names, so the language depends on the Language setting of the report (which can be the language configured in the user's browser).
For example, to calculate the Label for the Value 1, use an expression like =MonthName(1).
The Parameters FirstDay and LastDay (or just the values whenever you need them) can be calculated using these expressions:
FirstDay: =DateSerial(Today.Year, Parameters!Month.Value, 1)
LastDay: =DateSerial(Today.Year, Parameters!Month.Value, 1).AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1)
I have a Dynamics CRM SSRS report which has two date parameters to filter records when report is executed.
When running the report I would like the parameters to default to the current financial year eg. if today is 01/10/2017 then From should default to 01/04/2016 and To should default to 31/03/2017.
Can this be done and if so what is the best way?
Not sure why people are over complicating this. I understand the common need for date tables, I use them a lot but it's pretty easy to do in an expression.
The From date expression needs to be
=DATESERIAL(Year(Now()) - (IIF(format(now(),"MMdd") > "0331",0,1)) ,4,1)
and the to date expression needs to be
=DATESERIAL(Year(Now()) + (IIF(format(now(),"MMdd") > "0331",1,0)) ,3,31)
All we are doing is creating a date value that is either 1st April current year or 31st March current year then depending on if the current date is on or before the 31st March we adjust the year by 1.
I'M ASSUMING YOUR DATES ARE WRONG IN YOUR EXAMPLE. You said you wanted current financial year but your sample showed last financial year. Anyway, if the code above is incorrect just adjust the Year(Now()) to be (Year(Now())-1) .
In Access 2013, I have a report showing revenue for each month of the year. I was success in getting a formula to name the previous month:
=Format$(DateAdd("m",-1,([ApptDate])),"mmmm",0,0)
What I am trying to get, is the revenue for the previous month for comparison, like a distribution chart. This is as close as I have gotten to something working, but the sum of the revenue for the previous month is too low (maybe only for a day's revenue?) Could anyone please help me put the following formula in the right order with right parameters to get the date needed?
=Sum(DateAdd("m",-1,([revenue])))
If I understood your problem correctly, you could use the DSum function by setting as criteria the month of the date to the previous month.
=DSum("[revenue]","YourTableName","Month([ApptDate])=" & Month(DateAdd("m",-1,Date())))
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))
