Out of the Box SSRS Report Date Issues solved for all - use dd-MMM-yyyy

In all SSRS reports out of the Box all Date fields should be formatted as:

=Format(Fields!MD_StartDate.Value,"dd-MMM-yyyy")

This means all countries everywhere in the world get date in same format instead of US getting dd/mm/yyyy and other countries

wanting mm/dd/yyyy and logging fixes.

    Agree - having worked with international organisations before I have got into the habit of using a similar format, although I prefer dd-Mmm-YY.

     

    Examples:

    04-Jul-17

    12-Jan-18

     

    The short year gives you more room in the report design, and the leading zero aligns the dates better in a column.
