+# Range Report Parameters
+
+This topic describes how to create **date range** and **time range** parameters and filter a report’s data by the specified date or time values.
+
+## Create a Range Parameter in the Report Designer
+
+Follow the steps below to add a range parameter to a report in the [Report Designer](../../../report-designer-for-wpf.md):
+
+1. [Create a report parameter](report-parameters.md).
+2. In the *Add New Parameter* dialog, specify parameter options:
+
+ - **Parameter type**: *Date and Time*, *Date*, or *Time*
+ - **Value Source**: *Range Parameters*
+
+ The **Start Parameter** and **End Parameter** sections that appear allow you to configure options to create a date or time range:
+
+ 
+
+3. You can change the *Name* and initial static *Value* for the **Start Parameter** and **End Parameter**. To specify an [expression](../../../report-designer-for-winforms/use-expressions.md) instead of a static value, the **Value** option's ellipsis button and use the **Expression Editor** dialog:
+
+ 
+
+4. [Reference the created range parameter](report-parameters.md). You can reference this parameter in the report’s filter string, in expressions, and in a control's **Text** property. You can also bind control and data source parameters to report parameters.
+
+ We recommend that you use the following functions with range parameters in expressions and filter strings:
+
+ - `InDateRange(Date, FromDate, ToDate)` - equivalent to the `FromDate <= Date && Value < Date` expression.
+ - `InTimeRange(Time, FromTime, ToTime)` - equivalent to the `FromTime <= Time && Time < ToTime` expression (including cases where the range spans midnight, such as 23:00-01:00).
+ - `OutOfTimeRange(Time, FromTime, ToTime)` - equivalent to the `FromTime > Time || Time => ToTime` expression (including cases where the range spans midnight, such as 23:00-01:00).
+
+ The image below filters the report's data by the following filter string:
+
+ `InDateRange([ShippedDate], ?paramDateRange_Start, ?paramDateRange_End) `
+
+ 
+
+
+When you switch to the report's **Print Preview** tab, the Parameters panel displays the newly created range parameter. Click the editor to set a range. The editor type depends on the parameter type:
+
+**An editor for "Date" and "Date and Time" range parameters:**
+
+
+
+**An editor for "Time" range parameters:**
+
+
+
+After you submit start and end values, the report document shows filtered data. The report below shows the **ShippedDate** field filtered by the date range parameter:

+
+ 
+2. In the invoked [Query Builder](../../interface-elements/query-builder.md) window, select an item from the list of available tables on the left and drop it onto the list of data tables to be used.
+
+ 
+3. Enable the check box near the added table to include all of its fields in the data view.
+
+ 
+
+ Click **OK** to exit the **Query Builder**.
+
+ For more information on the Query Builder, refer to the [Query Builder](../../interface-elements/query-builder.md) document.
+
+
+
+## Select a Stored Procedure
+To use a stored procedure, choose the **Stored Procedure** option and then select the required stored procedure from the list.
+
+
+
+If the selected query or stored procedure contains any [parameters](../../creating-reports/providing-data/query-parameters.md), you will be required to define their values on the next wizard page: [Configure Query Parameters](configure-query-parameters.md).

+## Import Settings for an Excel Workbook
+The following settings are available if an Excel workbook has been selected.
+
+
+* **Use values of the first rows as field names** - Specifies whether values of the first row should be imported as field names. If this option is disabled, values of the first row will be imported as data and field names will be generated automatically.
+* **Skip empty rows** - Specifies whether or not to include empty rows to the resulting data source.
+* **Skip hidden rows** - Specifies whether or not to include hidden rows to the resulting data source.
+* **Skip hidden columns** - Specifies whether or not to include hidden columns to the resulting data source.
+
+Click **Next** to proceed to the next wizard page: [Select a Worksheet, Table or Named Region](select-a-worksheet-table-or-named-region.md).

+## Import Settings for a CSV file
+The following settings are available if a CSV file has been selected.
+
+
+* **Use values of the first rows as field names** - Specifies whether or not values of the first row should be imported as field names. If this option is disabled, values of the first row will be imported as data and field names will be generated automatically.
+* **Skip empty rows** - Specifies whether or not to include empty rows to the resulting data source.
+* **Trim Blanks** - Specifies whether to delete all leading and trailing empty spaces from each value in the source CSV file.
+* **Encoding** - Specifies the character encoding in the source CSV file. If the corresponding **Detect automatically** check box is enabled, this setting's value is automatically determined.
+* **Newline type** - Specifies the line break type in the source CSV file. If the corresponding **Detect automatically** check box is enabled, this setting's value is automatically determined.
+* **Value separator** - Specifies a character used to separate values in the source CSV file. If the corresponding **Detect automatically** check box is enabled, this setting's value is automatically determined.
+* **Culture** - Specifies culture information used to import data from the source CSV file.
+* **Text Qualifier** - Specifies the character that encloses values in the source CSV file.

## Filter Messages
-You can filter messages by one of the following categories:
+Based on their source, report errors are divided into four groups:
-
+* Report layout errors – occur, for example, when report controls overlap each other or extend beyond the report’s printable area.
+* Report creation errors – occur while the report document is created. For instance, it might include notifications about invalid property values or unreachable sources of content.
+* Report export errors – happen while the report document is exported to PDF, XLSX, and other formats.
+* Report script errors – for example, errors in script syntax.
-* **Report Layout**
+When you invoke a WPF Reporting application, the Report Design Analyzer displays messages from all sources except messages that belong to the Report script errors source.
- Layout-related messages (for instance, in cases when report controls overlap each other or extend beyond the report's printable area).
+You can disable messages that belong to a particular source:
-* **Report Creation**

- Messages about report creation (for instance, notifications about invalid property values or unreachable sources of content).

For example, the following expression adds the created “First page watermark”, “Even page watermark”, and “Odd page watermark” watermarks to the first, odd, and even pages of a report:
`Iif([Arguments.PageIndex]=0,'watermark1',Iif([Arguments.PageIndex]%2=0,'watermark2','watermark3'))`

+## Watermark Accessibility Settings
+
+Use the following options to specify whether to include report watermarks in the logical structure of exported PDF documents:
+
+* For image watermarks that convey meaningful information, set the **Role** property to **Figure** and use the **Description** property to specify alternative text.
+
+* For text watermarks, set the **Role** property to **Paragraph** and use the **Description** property to specify alternative text.
+
+For purely decorative watermarks, retain the default value to treat the watermark as an artifact.

+Use this table to map report controls to accessibility structure roles in exported PDF files.

+The table describes the following:

+- Roles you can assign to ensure that screen readers correctly identify the element's purpose in the exported PDF document.
