Title: Passing Non-Constant Parameters To Report?
Post by: RobSil on 02 Feb 2010 08:55:39 AM
I'm making a monthly report but don't want it to be "Prev" or "This" month... I'd rather have it be any month/year combo I want.  I would schedule a monthly run with a month/year combo that would change.... but for any ad-hoc needs I could manually run with a desired month/year also.   

Is there no way to specify flexible parameters to a report in Report Studio?  I'd like to configure it to run once per month and pass in the current month/year vs. a hardcoded value.

Thx,
Rob

I use Event Studio for this purpose as I don't know of a way to define dynamic parameters when scheduling a report.  In event studio you can choose to save or email a report as a task item and then hardcode or dynamically calculate the reports parameters.
