date in header

[dtrumbower]

Is there a way to display a date in the header or footer?

Hello dtrumbower,

To display the current date/time you can use the global function NOW() within an item binding expression within any section:

dateTextBox.Value = "=NOW()"

All the best,

Would there be a way to parse the NOW() function into a year or some other format?

Is there documentation that shows what functions are available within a textbox?

thanks

Hi dtrumbower,

As usual, more info about data binding of the text you can find in the Reporting Help (here and here). In your case simply set the Format property of the TextBox to something similar to {0:dd.MM.yyyy}. See the attached image for more details.
