no need of any IIF expression . just use expression as
=Cdate(Fields!EST_START_DATE.Value)

and in cell properties,format tab, give expression for format as
="d-MMM-yy"

hi

i gave IIf expr because if the value is null and if i give the Cdate() the value will come as 01-jan-0001 for null values so i want to display the null only so i used IIF epxr you had only given that sol... to display null as it is only

no i tried that only using CDate() but again it is not coming like that
