Hi.
Firstly, thanks for the reply and thanks for the help.
Great to know there are people like you out there prepared to help people
like me.
I got the query working

however I can't for the life of me work out how
to add in my next required field "vale"
I'm sure once I get this one in I'll be able to get the others done.
This is what I have so far, I not sure how to address the value field
SELECT [Building Consents].[Project ID],
Sum(Abs(Year([issued])=Year(Date())-1 And Month([issued])=Month(Date())-1))
AS projectlastyearlastmonth, Sum(Abs(Year([issued])=Year(Date()) And
Month([issued])=Month(Date())-1)) AS projectthisyearlastmonth,
Sum(Abs([value])=Year(Date()) And Month([issued])=Month(Date())-1) AS
valuethisyearlastmonth
FROM [Building Consents]
GROUP BY [Building Consents].[Project ID];
Query2 Project ID projectlastyearlastmonth projectthisyearlastmonth
valuethisyearlastmonth
1 1 0
b 14 10 0
g 2 0 0
j 0 0 0
I 0 0 0
m 0 0 0
a 5 6 0
f 2 1 0
c 28 20 0
d 5 8 0
k 1 0 0
l 3 0 0
h 0 0 0
o 0 0 0
e 0 0 0
n 0 0 0
Thanks
You could use a totals query:
SELECT PROJECT_ID, Sum(Abs(Year(Date_Issued) = Year(Date())-1 AND
Month(Date_Issued) =Month(Date()) ) as LastYearThisMonth.
...other similar fields
FROM tblSampleData
GROUP BY PROJECT_ID;
You will need to add similar expressions to count for this year and last
year etc.

Hi
Sample data
DATE_ISSUED PROJECT_ID
01/01/2003 A
01/01/2003 A
01/01/2003 B
01/01/2003 C
01/01/2003 C
01/01/2003 D
01/02/2003 A
01/02/2003 B
01/02/2003 C
01/01/2004 A
01/01/2004 B
01/01/2004 B
01/01/2004 A
01/01/2004 C
01/01/2004 D
01/02/2004 A
01/02/2004 A
01/02/2004 A
01/02/2004 B
01/02/2004 B
01/02/2004 C
01/02/2004 D
The desired results is if I ran this report in Feb 04 the reports would
show
PROJECTS ISSUED REPORT FOR 01/04
PROJECT ISSUED 01/04 ISSUED 01/03 YTD 01/04 to 12/04
A 2 2
2
B 2 1
2
C 1 2
1
D 1 1
1
In March 04 the reports would show
PROJECTS ISSUED REPORT FOR 02/04
PROJECT ISSUED 02/04 ISSUED 02/03 YTD 01/04 to 12/04
A 3 1
5
B 2 1
4
C 1 1
2
D 1 0
2
Hope this helps
Darryl
Could you please take the time to provide a few sample records with
the
desired final display in your report?

Hi
I have a database that records events A B C D E for each month of
the
year.
I want to be avle to produce a reprot that shows totals
for A B C D E for a mont in this year, and the same month last year
and
year to date totals
Up to now it has been manually done in Excel
I get stuck trying to work out how I pull this month and the same
month
from
last year on the same report
ideas welcome
