Formatting Dates from parameter values

[t16turbo]

Hi there, I have a text control in the 'before' section
which includes 2 data parameters:

"Date Range: " & param_start_period & " - " & param_finish_period

how can I format these to dd-mmm-yyyy format?

I assume data type of param_start_period is date.

You can use format function as follows:

format(param_start_period,"dd-mmm-yyyy")

I hope this helps.
