Nprinting Dynamic Name with variable

Dear friends,

i have a little (not for me) question.

i would like to use a variable in order to create a dynamic name into the final report (using Nprintg).

I wish it worked like this: every month I generate a report with data related the previous month and this value (previous month + year) must appear in the report name (for example... "ReportAlfa_2018_jan.xlsx").

I created a variable in qlik sense but it doesn't works.

The variable is :  Period_name =     Concat((year(ReferenceDate)),'-',(month(ReferenceDate)))

Where am I wrong?

Thanks for your support

Mauro

Reference Date contains many date. you may want to use ( today()-30 ) in the concat and then use the variable in dynamic naming
Concat((year(today()-30)),'-',(month(today()-30)))

Hi

it doesn't works.

Now the report name is "REPORT ELESA_Concat((year(today()-30)),'-',(month(today()-30))).xlsx"
