Hi,

 

How can I include a date and time in the report text tool?

so instead of showibg "date and time" below, show the current date and time.

Hi @wonka1234 

 

You can get the current datetime with the formula DateTimeNow(), and then use this date as parameter inside of the report tool:

If you currently have date and time as a given variable in your data set than you can click on the "Available Fields" button and input the variable. It will be structured as how it is in your data set so if you want it to say "January 1, 2023" for example, than it needs to be that in your data set. If you want the date to be when this was ran than you can add a formula tool and write out datetoday().
