I have a tabular model in SSAS, with a date column as a dimension member - set to date and general in SSAS column properties.
When I use this column to return data in SSRS 2016 - and more importantly - as a parameter, it looks like a string - with no date picker. I also can’t use things like > #date or < #date as a filter.
Have I missed a step to declare the column as a date. I’m used to using this in a standard sql connection which works perfectly - just not in SSAS Tabular / DAX.
Any help appreciated
Thanks,

You need to change both the "Data Type" and "Data Format" to date types in your SSAS tabular data model. Please see the image below:
I am using SSRs to generate letters. The body of my letters is stored in my SQL server 2012 database. Is it possible to specify an expression in my body column in sql and recognize it in SSRS as an expression?
Example. SQL column contains. The name of the business is =first(Fields!Fieldname.Value, "DataSet").
In my textbox I have a placeholder [Body] which corresponds to my dataset. When I run the report I want it to show: The name of the business is Boen Shop but I get whatever is listed in SQL.
I have a date range parameter(s) in a report. The query has in the where clause:
BETWEEN #StartDate AND #EndDate
and in the report, these parameters exist, and set to DateTime datatype. #Startdate has a default hardcoded as 1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM. I tried using =Today() for the #EndDate, and it works in BIDS, but gets to the report server as no default. I also tried creating a report variable, and setting the default to that, but go an error stating I can't set parameter defaults to report variables.
So, how do I get my #Enddate to default to today's date in the report server?
Try deleting and deploying the report from the report server; sounds like it's not recognizing some of your changed properties. Should that not work, view the report in Report Manager, and go into the management/properties page on it - you should be able to see (and, if necessary, set) the default value.
I tried that, no help. I ended up creating a new dataset with a simple query to get todays date (GETDATE), then set that as the parameter default. Works like a charm.
I've set up a report using SSRS and would like it to AutoRefresh constantly as data will continuously be added. Simple solution was to set the value to a constant which is easy enough. However, the report is an error log so I would like for the user to be able to shut it off or delay the refresh while they read the messages. I've tried adding a parameter Refresh as an Integer but I cannot set the AutoRefresh value to an expression via
=Parameters!Refresh.Value
and
=[#Refresh]
SSRS yells at me saying the "Property value is not valid. PARAM is not a valid value for Int32."
I appreciate any help.
Yes, AutoRefresh can use an expression in SSRS 2012.
I was able to set this up correctly on SSRS 2012 and make it work. The data type of the parameter must be Integer. What data type are you using? What version of SSRS are you using?
Edit: I have confirmed it does NOT work in SSRS 2008. However, if you are using SSRS 2008 R2, change the project property TargetServerVersion to SQL Server 2008 R2, and it will work. I have it working in a test environment.
I'm using SSRS 2008 R2 and i'm trying to set a Report manager default parameter.
I can set a parameter at run time i.e. '02/03/2006', or assign a drop down boxes via a query but i need it to have a variable date range
I've tried using:
=getdate()
getdate()
now()
=now()
....the list goes on
Thanks for your help,

SSRS Report Manager doesn't support using a formula as the default value for a parameter except for when the formula is specified as the default value in the report definition itself.
You should edit the .rdl file in Business Intelligence Development Studio and set the default parameter value there.
