How To: Add Date & Time To Report Page

The majority of reports that you create will require the date (and possibly time) the report was generated to be printed on a report page. Here is how to do it:

ð	Add the report band that will contain the date/time information. Historically, the top left of the report page has contained the date/time the report was generated; it is suggested to add a PAGE HEADER report band to the report.

ð	Add a new frame onto the report band referenced in the previous step

ð	Double left click the newly added frame to display the properties for that frame and type this information into it:

=FORMAT(TODAY(),@D17) &' '& FORMAT(CLOCK(),@T01)

ð	Optionally remove the borders from the newly added frame (top/left/bottom/right)

Your report page will now print the text dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm onto the top left of the report page. You can use different pictures to format the current date/time to your liking.
