Hi team,

I have a use case where I need to populate a date in a text box based on a date parameter field. I’m using it in the heading of a report / dashboard. Something like the below:

“Reporting for period starting - [Date]” or “Reporting for period starting - Wed, 22nd 2023”

I see this may have been released for Paginated reports, but not for report/dashboard. Has there been any update to the release of this functionality?

> Hi, Community. I am looking to include a dynamic date parameter in a text box but continually get “Something went wrong”. This blog outlined the initial steps: Dynamic Parameter: [image] Text Box with Parameter: [image] Resulting Error [image]

Thanks,

@Koushik_Muthanna - thanks for this.

I was trying to create the parameter field, but once created it was not propagating to my filters correctly, hence I thought this was not working.

I have created one now, but it is not working as expected. I believe this is down to user error though.

@Koushik_Muthanna - actually, what I need a little help with is a few different use cases which I need to use in the dashboard / report.

Overall scenario - I have a dashboard which is effectively cut into two different sections. The top section shows sales for a particular week (filtered by an individual salesperson) driven by a date range which is typically the previous week, as it is a weekly report.

The second section of the report shows or intended to show the weekly rank changes for sales people over the last month or 4 weeks. This section of the report needs to be link to the reporting week mentioned above.

So for reporting week 12/02/23 to 18/02/23 - the rank changes in the bottom section needs to show / display data for a salespersons rank over the last 4 weeks - like the below:

![image](https://d1wl4jav5dp96l.cloudfront.net/original/2X/3/3a40989eccdc7e49d88e0a8d7e398a71d3765025.png)

The issue I’m having is the filter context between the two tables. I have tried changing “Apply To - Some Visuals / Only this Visual”.

I understand I may need to use parameters to achieve this, but unsure how I can link the two reporitng periods so they are in sync with each other (or have context to each other).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
