Remarks
The Format element must contain an expression that evaluates to a .NET Framework formatting string. For information about .NET Framework formatting strings, see "Formatting Types" in the .NET Framework SDK documentation.
Locale-dependent currency formatting (format code C) and locale-dependent date formatting are based on the language setting for the report item.
Format applies only to text box, subtotal, title, data label, and legend report items.
