Answer 1

Assuming you have a date parameter called YourDate.

You could use the following expression:

=Cint(Format(Parameters!YourDate.Value, "yyyyMMdd"))

Explanation:

Step 1: Format the date to the yyyyMMdd format:

Format(Parameters!YourDate.Value, "yyyyMMdd")

Step 2: Cast the result as an int:

Cint(<FormattedDate>)

Answer 2

Dry coding here, but try...

=Fields!MyDateColumn.Value.Year * 10000 + Fields!MyDateColumn.Value.Month * 100 + Fields!MyDateColumn.Value.Date

Answer 3

Try the following expression :-

=format(cdate(Parameters!Date.Value),"yyyyMMdd")
