In SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), you can format date and time values in your report using expressions and built-in functions. Here's how you can format date and time on an SSRS report:

Using Expressions in Textboxes:

Click on the textbox containing the date or time value that you want to format.

  =Format(Fields!YourDateTimeField.Value, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")

Replace YourDateTimeField with the name of your date and time field.

By using expressions and format properties, you can customize the display of date and time values on your SSRS report according to your requirements.

Right-click and select "Expression" from the context menu.

In the Expression dialog box, use the appropriate formatting function to format the date or time value. For example:

To format a date: Format(Fields!YourDateField.Value, "MM/dd/yyyy")

To format a time: Format(Fields!YourTimeField.Value, "HH:mm:ss")

Click OK to apply the expression.

Using Format Property:

Select the textbox containing the date or time value.

In the Properties window, locate the "Format" property.

Click the ellipsis (...) button next to the Format property to open the Format dialog box.

Choose the desired date or time format from the list or customize the format using custom formatting options.

Click OK to apply the format.

Custom Formatting:

If the built-in format options don't meet your requirements, you can use custom formatting.

For example, you can use custom format strings like "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" to display the date and time in a specific format.

Here's an example of a custom format string to display date and time in the "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" format:
