title: Excluding the time in a "date/time" parameter for SSRS reports
body: <p>In my SSRS report, I wanted to allow the users to specify a date (that would be used to filter the data on a report).  When I did this, the parameter also includes the time.  Is it possible to just allow the user to select a date, without showing the time?  Can I also give it a default value of the current date?</p>
  
  <p>The steps that I had already applied to the report parameter:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Set the parameter to "date / time" data type.</li>
  <li>Set the default value of this parameter to be <code>=Now</code>.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>When I did this, the report parameter would show me:</p>
  
  <pre><code>23/04/2013 00:31:22
  </code></pre>
