Hi,
I have 2 parameters START DATE and END DATE. I want to default the START DATE to 1st day of previous month and default the END DATE to last calender day of previous month.

Any suggessions pleasee.

Thanks.
 
Generally Date Params default to current date.

Thus you can have one param and two formula.

@Startdate

date(year(dateadd("m", -1, {?dateparam}), month(dateadd("m", -1, {?dateparam}), 01)

@EndDate
date(year({?dateparam}), month({?dateparam}), 01)-1

Of course for these formula you do not really need a param and can just use the Crystal function currentdate instead.

Use these formula in select and display on report. Crystal will calculate and pass to database.
