Hello All -
I'm trying to create an HTML report to embed into the body of an email. So far so good, but I've run into a problem.
In the HTML report, I've created Formulas that will represent dates in the main report. An example is =Date(Max(WeekStart),'MMM D')
I added it to the HTML:
<li>"Current" represents the week of %%Current%%
When I preview the report, it works great.
But when I test the task, the email body shows:
Why does it work in a browser, but not in the email distribution?
Thanks,
mike
I had to do a couple of things to make this work and to get the look that I wanted.
Any thoughts on this?

I'm not sure why it's reverting back to a tag, but have you considered adding that text inside the email message? You can include QV variables in the subject line and message body. So if it is possible to separate that from the report, I'd try that. How to Include Dynamic Elements in NPrinting E-mail
Thanks, Stephen. I'll give that a try.
Is it possible to embed a hyperlink in the HTML Text format? Kind of like control-K in a MS Office document?

Hi Mike,
I am facing the same when designing the email body attempting to utilize created formulas in the report designer.
This is an excel report to be sent attached and each of the below has been treated as just text.
"Hi %%User_FullName%%,
The attached file contains Dashboards usage furing the past week between %%{1}PrvWk_Start%% and %%{1}PrvWk_End%%."
--------------------------------------------
"Hi %%User_FullName%%,
The attached file contains Dashboards usage furing the past week between %%PrvWk_Start%% and %%PrvWk_End%%."
--------------------------------------------
"Hi %%User_FullName%%,
The attached file contains Dashboards usage furing the past week between %%<PrvWk_Start>%% and %%<PrvWk_End>%%."
Could you please elaborate on how you embedded the text in the body?
thanks,
Alejandro
Hi Alejandro -
Before I spend too much time, I see the {1} in your variable name:
%%{1}PrvWk_Start%%
Is it also in your expression? Using the {1} in your set analysis makes the expression ignore any filters.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the prompt response.
It is not in the formula expression, it is only present in the email body where I assumed you placed it, maybe I missunderstood you.
