Hi Mel,

Based on the info you provided a query with grouping by month or grouping by the month in the report could be a solution .

>I have a report that has 12 columns and each column contains a field (Sales Received).
>
>What I need is for each column to show how much is received each month (Column two = January, Column two = Feb, etc., etc.). Can someone make a suggestion as to the best way to do this in the report writer?
>
>I realize I could SUM fields to a temp cursor, and print from that - but in this situation that is not the best solution.
>
>Any help is appreciated.
