I'm trying to populate an expression (default value of a parameter) with an explicit time. How do I remove the time from the the "now" function?

Click the Design tab, right-click the textbox where you will display the @Time parameter, select expression. Clear the expression dialog box, then type in: =FormatDateTime(Parameters! Timer.
Right click - properties on the cell, select format, click the ellipsis "...", and you can see the date formats from there. This will be converted into a date code when you OK the dialog. This is useful as it sets the date in the fomat the user wants to see it in.
The CDate function converts the value to a date. The Now function returns a date value containing the current date and time according to your system. DateDiff returns a Long value specifying the number of time intervals between two Date values.
Something like this:
=FormatDateTime(Now, DateFormat.ShortDate) Where "Now" can be replaced by the name of the date/time field that you're trying to convert.)
For instance,
=FormatDateTime(Fields!StartDate.Value, DateFormat.ShortDate) Since SSRS utilizes VB, you can do the following:
=Today() 'returns date only If you were to use:
=Now() 'returns date and current timestamp If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
