Hi there,

I'm using SSRS 2008
I have period end like 1/19/2010 field and I want to generate -5 days
(seperate textbox) from it like
1/15 1/16 1/17 1/18 1/19

I try =MyFileld.value - 1 and I got an error

How do I sbtract day fron date field?

I did also Month(myfield.value)&"/"&Day(myfield.value)-1 it works but this
is not woks allways.

Thanks

Uri,

You are right, I'll try that even though this is a sub report, that gets his
date based on calculation.
Thats the reason why I'm asking

Thanks,
Oded

Hi, try :

CDate(MyField.Value).AddDays(-4) etc...

Using CDate is likely not needed but should trigger intellisense within SSRS
allowing to see available methods...

SSRS is based on .NET so it uses the same programming model, for example :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime_members.aspx for
Date(time)s
