Hi All,

I have a date range parameter in my report. It is populated by the user. I want to output the date range in a text object in my report. However, when I drag the parameter variable into the text object and run the report, nothing is displayed.

I am running Buiness Objects XI.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks
Danielle
 
A date range has 2 elements:

minimum({?date})

maximum({?date})

So you can create 2 formulas and drag them into a text box if you insist on using a text box, or a single formula of:

"Dates from " & totext(minimum({?date})) & " to " & maximum({?date})

For advanced use, check my FAQ: faq767-5684
