failed to convert parameter value from DateTime to a Int32

I have criteria in my dataset that throws the above error. Iâ'm just trying
to get RS to understand the parsing out of a DateTime Field the values of a
month or year. I know the value I am comparing to is a number. Iâ've tried
the following different ways:
= YEAR(@.Date_Selection) â' 1
= DatePart(yy,@.Date_Selection) - 1
Additionally, Iâ've tried casting and converting back and forth from and to
VarChar and Int to no avail.
Any thoughts?

Marty ClineIt would be easier to help you if we could see the field types of your table
and the whole query that's included in your SSRS dataset (including the
parameter).

This work perfectly in SQL server studio. Reporting services just has
issues with the datetime parameter.
Here's the sql:
DECLARE @.DATE_Selection AS DATETIME
SET @.DATE_Selection = '10/31/2007'
SELECT
CAST(CAST(RIGHT(DATEPART(YY,@.DATE_Selection),2) AS VarCHAR) +

LEFT(Convert(NCHAR,ir.ACCOUNTING_DATE,101),2)AS INT) AS PriceMonth,
CASE WHEN CAST(CAST(RIGHT(DATEPART(YY,@.DATE_Selection),2) AS VarCHAR) +
CAST(DATEPART(MM,@.DATE_Selection) AS VarCHAR)AS INT) -
CAST(CAST(RIGHT(YEAR,2) AS VarCHAR) +
LEFT(Convert(NCHAR,ir.ACCOUNTING_DATE,101),2)AS INT) >13 THEN

string the first time you create it, and if you modify it afterwards, it
tends to revert back to string. From your SQL code, it should be datetime.
If that's not the issue, you could try this:
LEFT(convert(varchar, @.DATE_Selection, 2), 2)
instead of this:
CAST(CAST(RIGHT(DATEPART(YY,@.DATE_Selection),2) AS VarCHAR)
And so on for the rest of your fields. You never know...

I'm not sure why it was not working to begin with but it seems to be working
now. Probably something I did not know I did, but I'm not arguing. Thanks
for your help again!

Debugging a report in SSRS based on the error message on the Preview page
isn't exactly intuitive. Or at least not in the beginning when you're not
familiar with the environment.
