Hi,

The script run daily, so I want the title date change with run date.

Any idea how to insert today date in the graph title?

 

SendToReport(
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"Distributions",
			OutlineBox,
			{Set Title( "Distributions of last 30 days as of" & Today() )}

Re: Insert Today date in Graph Title automatically using script

There are a couple of issues.

  1. The & is not the concatenation syntax.  two vertical bars is what is used    ||
  2. The Today() function does not return a string, it return a numeric value, which is the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1904.  You need to use a Format() function to convert the Today() function.    Format(today(),"m/d/y", 10 )
