 According to the BIP publisher documentation, 4.9.2 Defining a Destination File Name Dynamically Using a Date Expression.  I should be able to use supported date expressions to create a dynamic file name for output:

Expression Description
%y
Displays the year in four digits: Example: 2011
%m
Displays the month in two digits: 01-12 (where 01 = January)
%d
Displays the date in two digits: 01-31
%H
Displays the hour in two digits based on 24-hour day: 00-24
%M
Displays the minute in two digits: 00 - 59
%S
Displays the number of seconds in two digits: 00 - 59
%l
Displays milliseconds in three digits: 000 - 999

However, when I create a job and set the file name to "my_file_%y%m%d", the report that is attached has the file name "my_file_%y%m%d.xlsx" literally.  I have tried other formats.

Howdy, Stranger!
