##### Variables tab You can enter a variable in a Report Editor field so that you can edit that field when you run the report. For example, if you create a Date Range report for the previous 4 months, you can put a variable named number_of_months in the field instead of a 4. When you run the report, you can change the variable value to 12 to show the previous 12 months. Click Add to create a new variable. Enter the variable's criteria. See table below. Click Accept or Apply.
