CSVRenderer - Date style is not enforced on render\export

@boaz.goldstein

We saw the problem as you have described and logged it.

But we asked you this and you did not provide it. Please provide it so that we could fix this issue properly.

Hi Shakeel,
what setting are you looking for?
In the RDL itself we see error in 2 locations:

The yellow mark in the screenshot is header, the red circles are date data values in each row (i did not mark all rows).
We use a set of text boxes for the header, where each text box is a different expression that results in the value you see in the report. We do not use the language property of the text box, we do use the culture input parameter for the format of the result line.again - how come it works correct for multiple culture (languages) but not for en-ES ?

here is example for expression of the first text box with the #Error:
=Code.GRH.GetText(“Campaign_Dates”,“Analytics_RDLs”, Parameters!SystemLanguage.Value) + iif(Parameters!IsPreviewReport.Value=CInt(1),"",iif((Parameters!ReportFlag.Value And 1)=1,ReportsHelper.RdlHelper.ConvertDateToString(First(Fields!CampaignStartDate.Value, “HeaderDS”),Parameters!Culture.Value,“d”) & " - " & ReportsHelper.RdlHelper.ConvertDateToString(First(Fields!CampaignEndDate.Value, “HeaderDS”),Parameters!Culture.Value,“d”) & " (" & Code.GRH.GetText(“TimeZoneLookup_” & First(Fields!TimeZoneID.Value, “HeaderDS”) ,“ACM_Lookups_Lookups”, Parameters!SystemLanguage.Value) & “)”,“N/A”))

As you see, we use external code to interpret the date we do use the parameters:

  • Parameters!SystemLanguage.Value
  • Parameters!Culture.Value

We use the Culture param to set the format, the language param is always english (en-US).

For the red marked values - it is the row value in the date column which is a simple date field, which is using the “culture” propery of the field.

Let me know if you need additional information.

Hi Shakeel,

@boaz.goldstein

You are right. It contains previous fixes as well.

hi Shakeel,
I have tested the new version and found that it did manage to remove the “#Error” strings all across the result txt\csv file, The result file looks correct and the date strings are formatted perfectly.
for now we look good!
