Question: on SSRS report I need to show `todays date and current time` 

i tried this `=FormatDateTime(Now,"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt")` but this is not working for me giving an error.

Anyone please help me for `expression` ?

I want output display like `4/12/2013 12:05 PM`

Answer: 
The following is how I do it using Visual Studio 2017 for an RDL targetted for SSRS 2017:

Right-click on the field in the textbox on the design surface and choose **Placeholder Properties**. Choose the **Number** panel and click on **Date** in the **Category** listbox, then select the formatting you are looking for in the **Type** listbox.
```
=Replace(Format(CDate(Now()),"MM.dd.yyyy"), ".", "/")

```
