Date range for entire month (v1.5)

Is it possible to have the data parameters from the first day of the previous month, to the last day of previous month in v1.5?

A report I'm trying to automate has two parameters (start date) (end date) and I currently have this:

"{-1m:01/MM/yyyy} 12:00:00 AM" "{01/MM/yyyy} 12:00:00 AM"

It works well enough, however the report shows the date range, and for example will show (01-Mar to 1-Apr). Ideally I'd like to be able to have the parameter go from the first to the last day.

There's no way to do this in version 1.x, but it can be done in version 2 using date functions.

Two workarounds for version 1:

  • Modify your report to accommodate the date (calculate the end of the month in the report, for example).
  • Run Report Commander from a script (PowerShell, for example) that calculates the dates and sets the parameters for Report Commander to pass to the report.

Absolute genius Bill, I didn't think of that.

And yeah, I think I'm going to push to have us update to the latest version.
