SSAS OLAP Cube Output Date Format mm/dd/yy to yyyy-MM-dd

Question

I have deployed an SQL Server 2012 on a Windows Server en-us.

Now my dates on Analysis services are in this format MM/dd/yyyy. the company is not American, therefore I would like to change it to yyyy-MM-dd.

Everything seems to be properly configured, however, SSAS is refusing to output the dates in the desired format.

Answer 1

an easy and fast way is to create a computed column on DimDate in SSMS, and specify this a name value for your datekey. Let me if that works.

ALTER TABLE [Dim].[Date] ADD AlternateDateFormat AS convert(date,[FullDate], 111);
