The following expression formats the SellStartDate value as dd/MM/yyyy. =FORMAT(Fields!SellStartDate.Value, "MMM-yy") SellStartDate field is a datetime data type. The following expression formats the SellStartDate value as MMM-YY. When used as a calculated field in a dataset, you can use this expression on a chart to aggregate values by week within each month. Month(Fields!MyDate.Value),1), Fields!FullDateAlternateKey.Value)/7)+1).ToString (Int(DateDiff("d", DateSerial(Year(Fields!MyDate.Value), For example, to December Week 3: =Format(Fields!MyDate.Value, "MMMM") & " Week " & The following expression changes the format of a date in the form month-day-year to month-week-week number. You can combine functions in an expression to customize the format. For more information, see the Visual Basic documentation. The Month function and other functions can also be used to manipulate dates. This expression provides the year for a given group of sales order dates. You can use this to group dates together or to display the year as a label for a set of dates. The Year function displays the year for a particular date. =DateAdd(DateInterval.Month, 6, Parameters!StartDate.Value) The following expression provides a date that is six months after the date from a parameter named StartDate. The DateAdd function is useful for supplying a range of dates based on a single parameter. Here are some valid DateInterval parameters:įor example, this expression will show the number of the week in the current year for today's date: =DatePart(DateInterval.WeekOfYear, today()) Use the DateInterval function to pull out a specific part of a date. This expression can be used in a text box to display the date on the report, or in a parameter to filter data based on the current date. The Today function provides the current date. For example, to round 1.3 to the nearest multiple of. Multiply the value by a factor that creates an integer, round the number, and then divide by the same factor. You can also write an expression to round a value to a multiple that you specify, similar to the MRound function in Excel.
The following expression rounds a 1.3 to 1: = Round(1.3) The Round function is useful to round numbers to the nearest integer. For more information, see Formatting Types on MSDN. NET Framework provides many custom format options, for example, for specific date formats. For more information, see Visual Basic Runtime Library Members on MSDN. This section provides examples demonstrating some of these functions. You can use Visual Basic functions to manipulate the data that is displayed in text boxes or that is used for parameters, properties, or other areas of the report. You can also use classes from the Microsoft. You can add references to functions from other assemblies or custom code. You can write expressions that use functions from the Microsoft Visual Basic run-time library, and from the Convert and Math namespaces. You can format data, apply logic, and access report metadata using these functions. Many expressions in a report contain functions.
