If the date and time is in its own cell (aka textbox), then you should look at applying the format to the entire textbox. This will create cleaner exports to other formats; in particular, the value will export as a datetime value to Excel instead of a string.
Use the properties pane or dialog to set the format for the textbox to "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt"
I would only use Ian's answer if the datetime is being concatenated with another string.
Hope this helps:
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 100) -- mon dd yyyy hh:mmAM
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 101) -- mm/dd/yyyy – 10/02/2008
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 102) -- yyyy.mm.dd – 2008.10.02
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 103) -- dd/mm/yyyy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 104) -- dd.mm.yyyy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 105) -- dd-mm-yyyy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 106) -- dd mon yyyy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 107) -- mon dd, yyyy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 108) -- hh:mm:ss
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 109) -- mon dd yyyy hh:mm:ss:mmmAM (or PM)
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 110) -- mm-dd-yyyy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 111) -- yyyy/mm/dd
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 112) -- yyyymmdd
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 113) -- dd mon yyyy hh:mm:ss:mmm
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 114) -- hh:mm:ss:mmm(24h)
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 120) -- yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss(24h)
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 121) -- yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.mmm
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 126) -- yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.mmm
I am using following in SSRS 2005
=Format(Globals!ExecutionTime,"MM-dd-yyyy" & " ")
& CStr(Hour(Globals!ExecutionTime)) & ":"
& CStr(Minute(Globals!ExecutionTime))
Or
=Format(Globals!ExecutionTime,"MM-dd-yyyy" & " ")
& Right("00" & CStr(Hour(Globals!ExecutionTime)), 2)
& ":"
& Right("00" & CStr(Minute(Globals!ExecutionTime)), 2)
Based on comment:
=Format(CDate(Globals!ExecutionTime), "MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm.ss")
OR
=Format(CDate(Globals!ExecutionTime), "MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm.ss")
In SSRS 2016 There is an option under the properties header "Localization" called "Calendar", if you click on this it gives you these 2 options:
This works brilliantly when referencing data from a tables aswell
alternatively if this does not work for you, specify one of these formats under "Number" and in the cell "Format":
dd/MM/yyyy or MM/dd/yyyy
The following is how I do it using Visual Studio 2017 for an RDL targetted for SSRS 2017:
Right-click on the field in the textbox on the design surface and choose Placeholder Properties. Choose the Number panel and click on Date in the Category listbox, then select the formatting you are looking for in the Type listbox.
If you want date and time separate then use below expressions: Date and Time Expression
Expression1 for current date : =formatdatetime(today) its return date is = 11/15/2016
Expression2 for current time : =CDate(Now).ToString("hh:mm tt") its return time is = 3:44 PM
This report printed on Expression1 at Expression2
Output will be : Output of Both Expression
This report printed on 11/15/2016 at 3:44 PM
First go to your control panel , select Date , time and Number Format . Now select English(United Kingdom) from the drop down list.
Make sure the shor date field is equal to 'dd/mm/yyyy'. Press Apply. Now go to SSRS and right click on the report in the empty space and select properties.
If you are using visual studio then set Language property equal to =User!Language.
If you are using Report Builder then Language property will appear in Localization section.
