how do I show the parameters of a report in a textbox on the report?

Question

I have a date range as parameters on my report, @dt_begin and @dt_end. On the header of the report I would like to display "report run from @dt_begin to @dt_end". with the actual date values in it, example:

"Report run from 14-Oct-2013 to 16-Oct-2013".

How can I do that? thanks and regards Marcelo

Answer 1

In expressions, refer to parameter values using Parameters!param.Value.

In your example, add an expression similar to this to a textbox in the header:

="Report run from " & Format(Parameters!dt_begin.Value, "dd-MMM-yyyy")
  & " to "
  & Format(Parameters!dt_end.Value, "dd-MMM-yyyy")

All it's doing is formatting your parameters and adding them to a larger string.
