Adding Current Date to file names

  • Anybody know of an efficient way of adding the current date to the end of a file name when publishing reports in SSRS 2005. We are currently using "@Timestamp" which produces an "ugly" version of the current date. We would really like to see that date displayed in the filename in the following format:

    filename_2011-03-31.ext (.xls or .csv)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

  • Can you try this?

    SELECT 'filename_' + REPLACE(CONVERT(NVARCHAR(20), GETDATE(), 102), '.', '-')

    Regards,

  • So when I am ready to "publish" the report created in SSRS and I am choosing the option to Notify by Report Server File Share I am asked for a file name.

    We have been entering the following:

    filename@Timestamp

    Where exactly would the code you've given be entered in that instance?
