Report Builder ( paginated report ) remove time from date field

Hello,

 In report builder, I have a datetime field which currently shows as:  dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss
 How do I remove the time section and have the field only show the date - dd/mm/yyyy
 Thank you

I found the answer 
FORMAT ( [datetime field], 'dd/mm/yyyy') as Date

I wasn't putting the as Date (or whatever else I want to call that field) part, but once I added that it worked fine.

Hi Ry5,

I am dealing with the exact same issue, where do you put this formula? In a calculated field or in Query Designer?

TIA

Hi Gkk!

I know this is late but hopefully it helps someone out there. 

You can accomplish this by going into the field value itself. Right-click on the value within the visual you are attempting to format, and select 'Placeholder Properties'. There you can navigate to 'Number', where you can format the number and date, and select the formatting type you'd like for that value.
