Answer 2

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:

• Gregorian (dd/mm/yyyy)
• GregorianUSEnglish (MM/dd/yyyy)

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

Answer 3

If you click on the empty spot on the report away from any table and then look in properties, one of the Misc fields is called Language which allows you to pick which Language you would like to set, which after doing so can play around with this

=FormatDateTime(now,x)

Which x can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Answer 4

=Format(Now(), "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt")

Output:

04/12/2013 05:09 PM

Answer 5

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.
