Hello Comminuty,
I would like to know how can we create variables in Acumatica Report Designer? Specially if a new datetime field is added on the screen and the user wanted to see the full format as 20 October 2023.

Hi
Yes, you can create additional Variables in a report, it’s very powerful functionality. They reside in the different data levels, so you first have to select a Detail or Group area, then open up the Variables screen:
From here, you can add Variable formulas, reset conditions, and the like. Be aware that the data level (Detail/Group) you put a variable matters, I often have to play around to get it to work properly. You can even pass a Variable from a Subreport, but that gets really tricky.
Good luck!
Hate to pick up an old threat but I’m hoping I can add an addition layer to this question. Once you have a variable defined in a group header can you then use that variable for the basis of the group?
I can define my variable and get it to display in the group header but if I then select the report properties, go the the Data/Groups property, and add the variable as the Grouping Collection for the group I get an error when I run the report. The error says that a field with the name “variable” can’t be found.
Is it possible that groups can only be based upon field elements?
