I have created a report in RDLC (using Visual Studio 2013). in which I have a date field. I wanted to display the date field as 01-Jan-2015. Hence I have formatted the date field using Format(Fields!LICDate.Value,"dd-MMM-yyyy").
However, I get a varied output in the date field. For some date the date is formatted correctly, for example the records having the date as 28th November 2015 are displayed as 28-Nov-2015, but some records this displays weird characters. Like, if the date is 1st October 2018, it shows 01-OcA-2018, for 1st March 2016, it shows 01-3ar-2016
I have browsed through web and got various links that show examples of date formatting in RDLC and almost all the links suggest using of Format and some links have suggested using .ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy"). I tried both the suggestions but the result is the same.
Am at loss on what has actually happened. The data in the database records is correct and whn I display int he DataGridView it shows correctly. This problem occurs in RDLC reports only that too for a few records only.
Any suggestions or links to solutions for similar problems are welcome.
Instead of using Format, try to right click on that text box and go to Properties/Number, then select Custom from Category and in Custom Format enter dd-MMM-yyyy.
This should fix your problem.

I have in my Report, I'm using Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 a TextBox with DATE value
I would like to set the DATE format by current Regional Setting.
So : if is US I wold like to set format yyyy/mm/dd etc..
There is a possible way in Visual Studio. There is a specific property or formula ?
I need to set dynamically the date format.
Thanks!
You will need to navigate to Text box properties > Number > Date. Select any date format which begins with asterisk(*) as it denotes that regional settings will be applied. You can refer to the screenshot below for details
In an existing Visual Studio 2010 desktop application that uses existing Crystal reports, there is a summary amount that appears in the report footer section of the current crystal report. The current calculation is usually close but it changes every time the crystal report is executed. Note I am new to working with Crystal reports and no one else at my company knows how to work with crystal reports. Since I have not been to figure how I can modify the calculation so that the amount is correct, I would like to create a new calculation for this field.
I have tried the following:
Running totals placed into the report footer but I get the result of #####.
I have tried formula fields placed into the report footer but I get the result of #######.
I have tried to use insert summary of the purchase amount in the report footer and I get the ##### message.
I have followed the directions in the following link and it did not work:
http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=111265
Thus can you tell me how to summarize the purchase amount from every detail that is placed into the report so the total appears in the report footer? Also I may need to also reset the value to zero everytime the report is executed. **I am not certain if I need this option.
Look the approach you are following is completely fine and correct. You can use either way to get the summary. The best will be put the Summary field in the Report Footer.
Whenever you place any numerical summary field in any section, or any numeric value fields in crystal, make sure you allot proper width to the text object or the formula field placed in report.
In case, the value is in millions, and width is less and only proper to show thousands, you will get "####" rather than the value. This indicates you have increase the width of the field.
Let me know if this helps, and in case you face any other issue?
In ppt we can possible create a footer timestamp, however what I need is just 'mmm YYYY', which is not provided by the ppt default options. Is it possible to access it and type in my own formatstring? Many Thanks.
In PowerPoint 2013, go to INSERT tab, then select Header & Footer, then you will see a dialog like this:
Here you should tick Date and time, then choose Fixed and edit your own footer, then select Apply to All.
After this, you will see all your slides are embedded with your own footer, a sample is attached below:
In the Header and Footer dialog box, when you put a check next to Date and time and choose Update automatically, the first choice on the dropdown listbox is the Windows short date format. If you customize this in Control Panel to mmmm YYYY, it will show August 2014 in PowerPoint.
Of course this will only work on your system. When you move it to another computer, it'll use that computer's default short date format.
I have VS2008 where i have a report that produces tablix with one field from one dataset. It displays values correctly. They are Numbers (0,00, 10,00, 15,00, 25,00 - using expression =Fields!TaxRate.Value - from thr correct Dataset).
They display correctly in RDL in VS 2008 (using preview).
When I copy RDL, rename it to RDLC and open it in VS 2010 (Azure emulator), in output it creates the correct number of fields in table - but it doesn't fill them with data, they are empty.
All other fields - 100 or more, from 4 or 5 datasets - display correctly.
Here are the screenshots:
In report:
In base:
Can someone show me where I'm making mistakes?
You didn't specify "TaxID" in report.
I am using SSRS with Visual Studio 2010. I have a cell pulling to a footer text box using the value:
=ReportItems!GuarantorBalance.Value
I CANNOT format the cell in the footer with the currency format. I tried every which way to format the text box but it never pulls the currency value. If I try to format the account number in the footer it will format with a currency value. Any ideas why the GuarantorBalance won't format with a currency value? Is there any other techniques I can try besides using the preset values in report designer?
Have you tried an explicit format for the value using an expression, like:
=FormatCurrency(ReportItems!GuarantorBalance.Value)
