Relative Date Filter - Analysis Services Live Connection

‎03-03-2020 08:20 AM

Hello,

I am wondering if it is possible to use the Relative Date filter options when connecting Live to a SQL Server Analysis Services data source? If so, what are the field settings I need to establish in SSAS to make this feature available?

Thanks!

Hi ， @mthirty 

If you use the "Connect Live" option to connect to the data model(my model is a Tabular project not MultidimensionalProject), make sure the type of your date is "date" not " text" in SSAS.
