Hi,  
My reports fetch data from google big query which will be updated at a certain interval daily.  
So my data in reports will not be up-to-date with the current time.  
So i want to display the last recorded time of my data, which i can pull from my model, but I want to display this in text widget, so that I need not spend 5 Objects for this. Can anyone guide how to do this

Hi @hari

> so that I need not spend 5 Objects for this

To ensure we don’t misunderstand your point, can you explain more about it?

If I am creating a report to display the current date, it will be counted as  
5 Objects right(1 report=5 objects)?  
While if I can display this in text widget, it wont be counted as a report and I can save those 5 objects
