Answer 1

I found this method to be quite useful. However it will convert your date/time format to just date but never the less it does the job for what I need it for. (I just needed to display the date on a report, the time was irrelevant).

CAST(start_date AS DATE)

UPDATE

(Bear in mind I'm a trainee ;))

I figured an easier way to do this IF YOU'RE USING SSRS.

It's easier to actually change the textbox properties where the field is located in the report. Right click field>Number>Date and select the appropriate format!
