Hi All,

I have payment date as a prompt in the prompt page and it has value's like lastweek, MTD, YTD, lastmonth etc. The ouput is a list report where in I need to specify the payment date selected by the user as the header.

eg: Payment date from ------------ to -----------

I guess we need to use param value but not sure how to do that. Any help ??

Thanks..

One way to do it is to set a text item source type to report expression and drag the parameter you want to display into expression box.

You will need to used a Layout Calculation (aka: Report Expression).  Code it something like:

'Payment date from ' + paramDisplayValue('pFromDate') + ' to ' + paramDisplayValue('pToDate')
