Manipulating dates in an expression

Does anyone know a way to subtract a date from a date
parameter (e.g. = Parameters!Date.Value - 1, which of
course does not work)
thanksYou might want to read the MSDN documentation for the DateTime class:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemdatetimememberstopic.asp
E.g. subtracting one day would be =Parameters!Date.Value.AddDays(-1)

> thanks|||Here is how I subtracted one date from another to get a number of days
between them:
=Fields!DESIRED_SHIP_DATE.Value.ToOADate() -
Fields!ORDER_DATE.Value.ToOADate()
This information below is not a direct solution for your problem, but the
information may help you with other things data/time related.
Here is how I get the current hour and manipate it:
The DateAndTime.Hour(Now) return a 24 hour clock output for the hour, so
this code turns hour 13 to 1 (like 1pm).
Dim cHour As Integer = DateAndTime.Hour(Now)
If cHour > 12 Then
StartHourBox.Text = cHour - 12
Else
StartHourBox.Text = cHour
End If
Look at all the different options available to you with "DateAndTime",
including Day, Month, and year.
Later,

Manipulate Dates Need Help ASAP! (Please)

I have a date like 12/1/2004 12:00:00 AM. I need to subtract one month and
display the three character month name so I can concatenate it. It should
look like this:
Nov Act 2004
Please help. Thanks in advance.Try this expression:
=MonthName(Month(CDate(Fields!Date.Value).AddMonths(-1))) & " Act " &
Year(CDate(Fields!Date.Value).AddMonths(-1))
