Report Builder Culture

Please could some one tell me how set the culture of a report inside
Report Builder as everything is always formatted en-US (neutral). Where
as we have international customers who'd like their reports fomatted
with their date / currency standards.
It's simple in the full blow Report Desinger but i can't seem to find
out how in the end user Report Builder.
Thankyou
TobyI am having the same problem. Any help would be great. I've temporarily
managed to get round it by using a custom format as I only need to use
a "=A3" sign instead of a "$" sign. There must surely be a correct
method for doing this otherwise this is a severe flaw in the product.|||Hi,
I found the solution that seems to work, when creating the model in
visual studio your can select the culture of the model but there are 2
entries for United States both set the culture to en-US.
Once the model has been created edit the code view and do a search
replace on en-US for your chosen culture (en-GB in my case). Save and
deploy and hey presto, formatted currency values display the =A3 instead
of the $ sign. Raw date formats are also fixed.
Regards
Toby.
