How to convert dd/mm/yyyy format string to Date type in SSRS?

  • Hi,

    I am getting string in format dd/mm/yyyy. In SSRS i want to convert it to Date format. Error is shown if using CDATE.

    Note: If date is in mm/dd/yyyy format than SSRS is easily converting.

  • you can use the format ( dot net ) command in ssrs to make the date look like however you want.

  • go to the textbox properties in the report,and choose the format and go tot the date and choose the dd/mm/yy fromat in the slection.

    I hope that solve ur issue..

    Thanks & Regards,
    Veeren.
    Ignore this if you feel i am Wrong. 😉

  • Actually my problem is that date is coming in dd/mm/yyyy string format from database now when i am trying to convert it to any date format in ssrs, it throws error saying this is not a date.

    No error is shown when converting mm/dd/yyyy string to date.

    It is happening only when date is in dd/mm/yyyy.

    Final conclusion: ssrs is not recognizing dd/mm/yyyy string format as date

    What is the SQL statement you are using to get this column from the database?

    Can not access database. it is coming in dd-mm-yyyy string format.

    What do you mean you cannot access the database? How are you getting the data in the report? It has to either be a select statement you have written for the dataset or a stored procedure.

    Either way, the question still stands - what is the SQL statement being used to return that column?
