How to get just the date part from the datetime in my report ?

Answer 1

Set the expression as follows:

= "Printing Date "+ Now().ToString("MMdd/yyyy")

Answer 2

Replying to an old question, but here it is anyway. You needed to escape the embedded curly braces

Printing date{Format("{{0:MM/dd/yyyy}}", Now())}
