I want to group my data by month-year I've got the following query:
SELECT Sites.SiteNo, Avg( [Monthly_BOD/TSS].BOD_mgl) as BOD_AVG, Avg([Monthly_BOD/TSS].TSS_mgl) as TSS_AVG, MonthName([Monthly_BOD/TSS].Sample_Date) & "-" & cast(Year([Monthly_BOD/TSS].Sample_Date) , text) as yr
FROM Sites Inner JOIN [Monthly_BOD/TSS] ON Sites.SiteNo = [Monthly_BOD/TSS].SiteNo
Group by Sites.SiteNo,MonthName([Monthly_BOD/TSS].Sample_Date) & "-" & cast(Year([Monthly_BOD/TSS].Sample_Date) , text) as yr

sample date values are like jan-25-2003

I'm getting missing operator error in query expression -- I'm thinking the Year() function returns an integer and I need to convert to string --

Thanks

Pete

Just FYI, to cast a value to string in Access, you can use the CStr() function.
