How do I get "today's date" for a default parameter in a report?

Hello, Joe.

You should use Today system variable.

Thank you.

It would have taken me a long time to have guessed that.

So, now I know how to set my default "End Date" search.

Our default "Start Date" search parameter is supposed to be 30 days before this.

How would I specify 30 days before {Today}? Would I use some combination of "-Today- -30" or "DateSerial(-Today-.Year, -Today-.Month - 1, -Today-.Day)"?

Hello Joe,

Sorry for the misunderstanding. "-Today-" is a how this value will be displayed for the customer. You can use any string for this field.
You can use the following expression to get date time + 30 days:

Today.AddDays(30)

Thank you.
