Need to display 2 dates in one column in Report

Question

Hi All,
        I have two date chars, 'Begin date'  (4/1/2007 ) & 'End date' (10/1/2011 ) in two different coulums & I need to display them in one column like 4/1/2007 - 10/1/2011, which would specify period i.e 'Begin date' to 'End date'. Can anyone please let me know how I could do this in Query designer?
Thanks!!

Answer 1

as per ur issue it seems u want tod isplay the date start and end in the header area
this can be acheived using Text variables.
u can create 2 text variables whose value is either user entry and whose reference char is Calday
lets say ur user enters 2 date ,one as start date and another as end date.
so u can create a variable A & B whose reference characteristics is 0calday
now in query designer u select in column description where u wish to display date.
then in description side u will see a icon
if u click it u will be able to include text variabel in description
now here create 2 variables x & y
variable x
replacement path variable
reference char---0calday
replacement path tab....
variable is replaced by variable
now select ur variable A.
similarly create variable y
theni n description u can include variable and put like this...
variablex----variable y
this should solve ur issue
