I need to generate a report on the 10th of every month with the data of the previous month. Can some one guide me?

There are multiple ways depending on the context and one of them is using the formula (AdjustMonth[some date field],-1)

Hope that helps.

Are you emailing the report out or manually running it on the 10th? As for the filter, you select the date field and then "is during" "the previous" 1 month. If you're running and sending it via report subscription, it gives you the option to run it monthly on a specific day.

Thank you! Also, once I adjust the date to the previous month, how do set the date to the 1st of that month?
