Hello, trying to export data from a report between 2 times. it produces data but not between the times I select.  
the report displays data for each hour. the report always gets todays data even with a date range of a different day.  
thanks

overrides = {“event.source.parent.getComponent(‘Report Viewer’).StartDate”:“event.source.parent.StartDate”, “event.source.parent.getComponent(‘Report Viewer’).EndDate”:“event.source.parent.EndDate”}

csv = system.report.executeReport(path=event.source.parent.getComponent(‘Report Viewer’).reportPath, project=“MainSorter”, parameters=overrides, fileType=“csv”)

reportID = event.source.parent.getComponent(‘Report Viewer’).reportPath  
filePath = system.file.saveFile(reportID, “csv”, “Comma Separated Values”)

if filePath:  
system.file.writeFile(filePath, csv)

reportID = event.source.parent.getComponent('Report Viewer').reportPath

Wow, that worked. So leaving off the entire path to the start/end properties was the key?  
Thank you very much 🙂

You also constructed your overrides with quoted strings. Quoted strings are constants–they don’t execute.
