SSRS - How to configure date in report

  • Hi, I have a report that I want to configure that will be sending out a report monthly to users. The trouble I am having is trying to get the excel file to send data to those users on the first day of a month with data of the previous month. I am not sure what to put into the date format in the query of the report. Can anyone help?

  • Use DATEFROMPARTS ( year, month, day ) and EOMONTH ( start_date [, month_to_add ] ) to get the first day and the last day of a month and then use them to filter?

  • Thank you for trying to help. OK so this is what the query in the report looks like;

    SELECT [ID]

    ,[MessageTypeID]

    ,[EventID]

    ,[Source]

    ,[Destination]

    ,[Subject]

    ,[MessageText]

    ,[MessagePlainText]

    ,[CreatedOn]

    ,[UpdatedOn]

    ,[Provider]

    ,[LanguageCode]

    ,[SmscMessageID]

    ,[SmscStatus]

    ,[SendRetryCount]

    ,[MessageStatusID]

    FROM [UT_XXX_Core_XXX].[messaging].[MessageQueue]

    WHERE Source = '277' AND (DATEADD(month, 1, UpdatedOn) >= GETDATE()) AND MessageStatusID = 3

     

    In red is what i used for the date. it does throw back a few rows of data when i test it however i am not sure if i set up the subscription it will be sending the right data fulfilling what i described in my initial question.

  • Calculate the first of last month - and the first of this month filtering on your UpdatedOn date greater than or equal to the first of last month and less than the first of this month.

    WHERE UpdatedOn >= DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, GETDATE()) - 1, 0)  --First of last month
    AND UpdatedOn < DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, GETDATE()), 0) --First of this month
