Change ReportTitle in a formula

[Former Member]

Can you change the special field ReportTitle in a formula?

I've tried with

ReportTitle := 'New title';

but the formula editor does not accept this.

Although you can't change the special field,  You can certainly use a formula to display different text strings  based on anything that changes.  

Under what circumstance do you need the Title to change?     Different groups?   only for a specific list of customers?       Based on a parameter the user enters? 

Any of the above could be used to change the String of Text used as the report " Title" in the header.

Yes, that's what I am doing now. Using a formula.

Hi,

The Special Field 'Report title', picks up its value from the 'summary info'.

Go to File > Summary Info > Modify the text beside 'Title'.

Thanks Abhilash!

I am aware of setting the report title using the File > Summary Info > Title.

It is changing the report title in a formula, which is my issue. Depending on a SQL Expression Field, I would like to set the title.

That can't be done unfortunately, using the 'Report Title' field as its always static.
