    Did you try just the normal syntax @{variable_name} ?

    Yes but in the headers I only see the html option but being able to show variables does not allow me,  it takes them as plain text, does anyone know a way to do it? Thank you

    I just tested, it does work fine.

    Where are you entering it? (what is exactly that you call header)

    How are you writing the reference to the variable?

    A screenshot is worth more than hundreds of words...

    Yes, you are right, the direct variable is shown the issue is when I want to apply an operation to that variable, do you know any way to do it? Thank´s in advanced.

    The header isn't a formula field, it's a text field. Variables are matched and replaced.

    Your 'variable' || ' ' || etc. should be written as text with the variables inside, don't try to concatenate things or anything like that.

    Because it's only a variable replacement, it will match the variable value, the default value and the format mask, but you can't expect to execute mathematical operations in a header.
