Report Builder Formatting Currency

Hi all

I need Report Builder to format Certain Numbers
as Currency by default. According to the documentation
I need to set the culture setting in the report's datasource.

I'm using a SSAS2005 Cube
The Report Manager then let's me create the Model wich is used
by Report Builder.

My Question is: Where do I set the culture setting?

I cannot find it in the Cube and viewing the model's xml hasn't helped.
Any help will be dearly appreciated

under format in properties of the textbox

change it to

$ ###, ###, ###.##

Thanks X

But I know how to format the textbox.
The problem is that I want my measures to default to
currency format like this: (R #,##.##0.00;R (#,##.##)0.00;R ##.#0)
when added to the table/matrix

The docementation for Report Builder says that it can be
done by setting the "Culture" Setting on the Datasource.?

They dont give any other specifics

Thanks for the responce

maybe set it in Connection String ?

Data Source=myServer;Initial Catalog=myDatabase;Current Language=en-us

Hi

No good, the report model does not contain a connection string.
As this is what Report Builder uses: I'm assuming that this is the datasource
that is being reffered to.

Still stuck

Where do I view this?

In Report Manager? Because I dont find it..

Thanks for the reponces

http://localhost/Reports/

click on Your model name

Properties Tab:

General

DataSources

Security

This gives the path to my datasource.

Does this mean that I have to set the connection string for
that datasource that the path from the model refers to?
