Like buying a gun, there is a waiting period before you can accept your own answer. I'll mark it as accepted in 2 days.

Answer 3

A:

From the blog of a Microsoft SQL Team member:

-- returns the last day of the current month.
select dbo.Date(year(getdate()), month(getdate())+1,0)

Hope this helps! --Dubs

Thanks but I was looking for how to do this not as a SQL query but as an SSRS expression

Answer 4

+1 A:

I know you've found your own answer, but I'd suggest this alternative:

=Today.AddDays(1-Today.Day).AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1)

It's a little easier to read, in my opinion, and might have slightly better performance (though most likely unnoticeable)

And, of course, if you wanted to pad out that date to 23:59:59, as is often necessary, just modify slightly:

=Today.AddDays(1-Today.Day).AddMonths(1).AddSeconds(-1)
