title: SSRS 2008 R2- Format Parameter to DD/MM/YYYY
body: <p>I have SSRS 2008 R2 and am working on reports for the UK.</p>
  
  <p>My report has a Date/Time data type parameter. When user opens the report the default date format is MM/DD/YYYY, but I would like to have DD/MM/YYYY format (same if user pick date from Calender drop-down date selection). </p>
  
  <p>I have changed the Language settings on the reports to UK and it formats the dates within the dataset, not the parameter. I have also tried using a cdate expression but that does not work either. </p>
  
  <p>One work around is just changing it to nvarchar in my SQL code however, I have a few scripts that use a > @eomdate so the nvarchar will not work in that case.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
