reporting services - Change format of column in SSRS during export -


i have date columns in ssrs that, when our internal users view/review data, need shown in usual mm/dd/yyyy format. users dump report excel. in export, need convert date string , format yyyymmdd.

is possible change output format of column during export?

edit: (based on comments below)

i love phrase "almost exactly" :)

the other question mentioned below asking why dates appear way in excel after exporting wanted change format before or export happened. question had nothing regional settings question referred below mentions.

what needed date show on report (at report server, on-screen) 8/13/2013, let's say, when export excel needed format of 20130813.

to helpful read this, adding parameter report header, allowing user change selection run report in 2 separate "modes" worked me.

what did add reportmode param, give 2 values, modea , modeb. defaulted param dropdown modea. in date column, checked how param set , changed format of date, through expression prior user running report. way users can have modea use when checking data when export excel our external customers, require dates in other format, can choose modeb, run report again , export.

hope helps else.
