Crosstab sounds like a solution on this but do the following as well:
To group by months, calculate a data item that extracts month from the date and use this instead of date.

Browse All TopicsHi,
I have a requirement to show the sales amount rolled up by month and producer in its corresponding month column. We have following cols in our database.
Producer name
Date
Sales
Date column will have sales date and the requirement is to total sales group by producer name for each month, but each month name should appear as column in the report, we are tracking data for past 6 months. The output should look something like this:
Producer name | Mar 2009 | Apr 2009 | May 2009 | June 2009 | July 2009 | Aug 2009
Under each month column, we need to show sales amount group by month and prodcer name.
Could you please help me how can I show Month name which is a record in Date column as column for individual month in a report. This should be dynamic, as we are tracking only past 6 months data.
Thanks.

Set your query to only pull the last 6 months, that's your date filter.
Use a crosstab type report, with the date being the columns, producer being the rows and Sales being the measure.
