Hi @Anonymous ,

According to the error message, please try the solution in this similar thread:

 

If you want to use set Boolean type parameter and get value from the query.

You should use type bit  in SQL Server to instead other type,and when you edit the bit type column ,you will found that

whatever you input 1/0 or True/False ,the data always changes into True/False. Please check your data type for the “Boolean type” column.

If you can’t use bit type, you should  change the parameter’s type  as text .

 

Or the workaroud in this similar thread.

this is not solving my issue- i have tried both suggestions and still having same issue. i cant use the boolean option becasue users need to be able to pick dates themselves
