Displaying description of parameter in report heading

After selecting a parameter for a time period I am reporting on, I want to display the parameter in the report heading.  When I select 'Period 13 2011', which is the description of the data item as shown in the Edit Parameter dialog box, the report displays [FISCPERIOD].[DT2011013], which is the full name of the data item.  I want it to display 'Period 13 2011'.  Is there any way this can be done?

Thank you.

Unfortunately there is not a way to display Parameter "Descriptions", but you might be able to come up with a way to "trick" it into printing what you want.

If your format of the data item is always the same, maybe you can do something with RIGHT, LEFT, MID to print it out the way you want.
