Hi, I am new to Reporting services and the problem I'm having is displaying a
day that is two business days before another date. I have two columns Due
Date to QA and Due Date to PM. I want to subtract two business days from Due
to PM date, excluding Saturday and Sunday, and display this new date in the
Due to QA column. Also if this helps, I used the properties to format the
output of the Due to PM date. For example " Friday, June 23, 2008". Please
help me or show me how to do this?

Here is an update to the previous post. This is my expression for the DUE to
QA column

=iif(((fields!date_time_end.value="Monday", reportitems!textbox78 = fields!
daydiff.value, iif(fields!date_time_end.value = "Tuesday", reportitems!
textbox78 = fields!daydiff2.value, iif(fields!date_time_end.Value =
"Wednesday", reportitems!textbox78 = fields!daydiff3.value, iif(fields!
date_time_end.Value = "Thursday", reportitems!textbox78 = fields!daydiff3.
value, iif(fields!date_time_end.Value = "Friday", reportitems!textbox78 =
fields!daydiff3.value))))

Error: The Value expression for the textbox 'textbox78' refers to the field
'daydiff3'. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the
current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set
scope.

Which is wierd because I've declared this as DATEADD(day, -2,
v_SO_Activity_Company.Date_Time_End.value) in the dataset.

Again, if you can offer any suggestions as to how to solve this problem that
would be so helpful!!!

I do it in the the SELECT statment like this:

Designstart = CASE
WHEN DATENAME(dw, to_dueship) = 'FRIDAY' THEN
CONVERT(nvarchar(25),DATEADD(dd, -11, to_dueship),1)
WHEN DATENAME(dw,DATEADD(dd, -13, to_dueship)) =
'SATURDAY' THEN CONVERT(nvarchar(25),DATEADD(dd, -15, to_dueship),1)
WHEN DATENAME(dw,DATEADD(dd, -13, to_dueship)) =
'SUNDAY' THEN CONVERT(nvarchar(25),DATEADD(dd, -16, to_dueship),1)
ELSE CONVERT(nvarchar(25),DATEADD(dd, -13, to_dueship),
1)
END

Hey trussman,

Thanks for your help, it worked. I input your code directly into the query
statement as suggested and found that by also changing one of the nvarchar(25)
to datetime it gave me the result of viewing the date along with the actual
day which is what i need to display ex. "Monday, June 1, 2008"

Here is the code I modified:
CASE WHEN DATENAME(dw, v_SO_Activity_Company.Date_Time_End) = 'FRIDAY' THEN
CONVERT(datetime, DATEADD(dd, - 2, v_SO_Activity_Company.Date_Time_End), 1)
WHEN DATENAME(dw, v_SO_Activity_Company.Date_Time_End) = 'THURSDAY' THEN
CONVERT(nvarchar(25), DATEADD(dd, - 2, v_SO_Activity_Company.Date_Time_End),
1)
WHEN DATENAME(dw, v_SO_Activity_Company.Date_Time_End) = 'WEDNESDAY' THEN
CONVERT(nvarchar(25), DATEADD(dd, - 2, v_SO_Activity_Company.Date_Time_End),
1)
WHEN DATENAME(dw, v_SO_Activity_Company.Date_Time_End) = 'TUESDAY' THEN
CONVERT(nvarchar(25), DATEADD(dd, - 4, v_SO_Activity_Company.Date_Time_End),
1)
WHEN DATENAME(dw, v_SO_Activity_Company.Date_Time_End) = 'MONDAY' THEN
CONVERT(nvarchar(25), DATEADD(dd, - 3, v_SO_Activity_Company.Date_Time_End),
1)
WHEN DATENAME(dw, DATEADD(dd, - 3, v_SO_Activity_Company.Date_Time_End)) =
'SATURDAY' THEN CONVERT(nvarchar(25), DATEADD(dd, - 1, v_SO_Activity_Company.
Date_Time_End), 1)
WHEN DATENAME(dw, DATEADD(dd, - 3, v_SO_Activity_Company.Date_Time_End)) =
'SUNDAY' THEN CONVERT(nvarchar(25), DATEADD(dd, - 2, v_SO_Activity_Company.
Date_Time_End), 1) ELSE CONVERT(nvarchar(25), DATEADD(dd, 0,
v_SO_Activity_Company.Date_Time_End), 1) END AS Expr2
