Hi,

Does anyone know how to convert a datetime stamp to MMMYY format?

As an example suppose a SQL enquiry returns:

Date Value
01/01/2008 10
10/01/2008 15
15/01/2008 25

I want to be able to return:

Date Value
Jan08 50

Many thanks in advance for your help.

forgetting the whole 'formatting' bit for a sec, it seems what you really want is to group by the month...?

something like...

select DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,[Date]),0),sum(value)
from urTable
group by DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,[Date]),0)

Thanks very much ElanCaster and your suggestion is deeply appreciated.
I have managed to produce the required result by combination of convert and substrings functions availabe.
