How can I display the parameters for a report?

I have a report that uses parameters to select the information on the report.  I want to show on the report what values were entered for each parameter.  Is there a way to show this in a title or on the report somewhere?

    You can add that information to the description of the report and check show description:

     

    If the report is on a dashboard, you could add it to the title or add a text widget and include that information.

    On the report itself, in the top right, it will show any filters in use if any.

      I do use the Description but it is not parameter driven. 

      If I create a report where the use can select values for the query, there is not a way to put the selected values into the description.  The report I have requires selecting a department and date range.  How can I show the selected values on the output?

        The description can be used to put static information about the report, but if you need a dynamic display.

        The report will by default display any filtered values in the top right:

        If you want to display the filters in use more prominently than that or in a different way, then you would probably have to create a code page that runs the report using the API and has your own custom code to display the filtering being used as a header or similar.
