| 1) SELECT does not display the Year as defined in the specification.2) GROUP BY is not grouping by Year in addition to Month as defined in the specification.3) GROUP BY is grouping by po_number which is NOT in the specification. This is why it APPEARS to be grouping by day.4) ORDER BY is using date_created instead of extracting the Month. Also, should include the Year portion.HTH=================================================================In order to improve the mind, we ought less to learn than to contemplate.-Rene Descartes, philosopher and mathematician (1596-1650) |
