Yes, I can do this in SQL with,
SELECT
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),DATEADD(wk, DATEDIFF(wk, 5, getdate()), 5),101) as
SATURDAY
I was looking for an expression to use in SSRS.
Thanks for your help though!

Hi,
You should create a new dataset to retreive your parameter default. Put this
code in a stored procedure and the result should be the last Saturday:
set datefirst 7
declare @date datetime
set @date = getdate()
while datepart(dw,@date) <> 7
begin
set @date= dateadd(day,-1,@date)
end
select @date
If you are using the datefirst with the default settingd, you should not put
it in the code. Also, you should format your date with CONVERT or CAST
function, if required.
Another way is to write a custom code in SSRS, but I was lazy :)
I hope, it helps for you.
Regards,
Janos
