Answer 1

Hello,
Please take a look at the following sample to format date:
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[CurrentMonth] AS Format(Now(),"yyyyMM")
SELECT {[Measures].[CurrentMonth]}
ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works]
If you need to conver all of attributes to expected date format, we should create a named column in your DSV and then click the “…” button to specify the translation column.
