Hello,

i am trying to setup a report that pulls data for the last 5 days. how do i setup the date to update automatically in the title or the report in a (YYYY-MM-DD) format?

so i got the current date by using @date@, but how do i get the date from 5 days ago?

Regards

The easiest way is to use a parameter for this. Check out how we do the predefined “StartDate” parameter in the data section of your report.

Thank you so much, for some reason my mind did not think about using that, i am using the start and end date parameter in the report to get the data anyways. its works!
