#s to be presented as Months
Hi
I have a query that I want to be grouped, by month order, on my report. I derived the month 'number' of all my records by using .......... Month: DatePart("m",[Date]) .......... in the query and I now want the number to be replaced by the NAME of the month in the report. I tried this DLookUp formula =DLookUp("[MonthName]","MonthsoftheYear","MonthID = '" & [Month] & "'") as I have created a table with the MonthID [or #] and the MonthName, though the control comes back with a ......... #Error Can anyone point me in the right direction? TIA -- Sue Compelling

It's sound that the month is a number type, in that case the dlookup should
look like that =DLookUp("[MonthName]","MonthsoftheYear","MonthID = " & [Month]) "Sue Compelling" wrote: Hi I have a query that I want to be grouped, by month order, on my report.

If you still have the original date field then this will give you the month
name =Format([DateField],"mmmm") "Sue Compelling" wrote: Hi I have a query that I want to be grouped, by month order, on my report. I derived the month 'number' of all my records by using ..........

If you still there, then using a dlookup with date it should be a follow
=DLookUp("[MonthName]","MonthsoftheYear","Date = #" & [Date] & "#") "Sue Compelling" wrote: Brilliant - thanks 'Ofer' - that did the trick ................
