I am trying to run a scheduled, automated report through SQL Reporting Services which will run a monthly report at the beginning of each month using the first day of the previous month as the start date and the last day of the previous month as the last date.
I am trying to configure the report through SQL Reporting Services but only a limited set of criterion fields are available. They are:
All Label Date Filter
Aggregation Support Group
Classification Assigned to User
Time Zone TimeZoneName
Start Date Type Start Date Value
Start Date Offset Type Start Date Offset Value
End Date Type End Date Value
End Date Offset Type End Date Offset Value
Service Queue
I cannot find anywhere the options available for values to enter in the “Start Date Type” or “Start Date Offset Type” fields. I have found the SQL on line to select the “First day of the Previous Month” etc., but cannot determine where to enter this code to make it work with the report automatically. Do I need to open the report through Report Builder V3.0 and enter the SQL query as a default value in one of the parameters? If so, can someone detail the steps or me to do that as I cannot determine how to make that work.
