Creating dynamic Month Header

[TerranceU]

I'm trying to create a dynamic header for my reports which shows the previous month.  I know this is probably an easy formula, any thoughts?

It's pretty easy if you want to display that in the Report header but what exactly you want to display? The previous month name, year, both , date ?? and where exactly you want to display that? If you can post an example of how you want it to look, I can give you the exact syntax.

Create a data item with this expression:

_add_months(current_date,-1)

You can now drag this item to the report page and format it as you wish.

Thanks,
Sriram.
