How to add dynamic (Today's date) to report output (render)?

ShantanuDagar

As per subject, I want to add today's date to rendered report as the report is run daily.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

use the formula to update the current date 
DateTimeNow()

Hi @ShantanuDagar you can use the DateTime Now tool, and bring the field into a report text tool so you can add it to your report however you want. 
Alternatively, the Report Header tool can also be used to include the current date. 

 

Hope that helps

How to suffix it on output file name on render

Hello @OllieClarke 

 

Can it be suffixed to output file name somehow instead of inside report which is just a table.

Hi @ShantanuDagar 

Yes it can.

If you group by the date, then you can append it on to the filename

 

Hope that helps,

Works as intended.

If the goal is to have today's date in the output file name only, you can just drag that formula tool before the render and group it by date as suggested above and it will do the trick.
