Re: Simple Query question

Never mind, I got it.

Are you looking for a way to take
....+....1....+....2
MM   DD   YY   STUFF
 1    2   61   hi
 1    2   61   there
 2    3   75   A
 2    3   75   B
 3    4    5   A
 3    4    5   B
********  End of data

and use Query/400 to get
....+....1....+....
      MYDATE
      01/02/61
Totals for 01/02/61
COUNT 2

      02/03/75
Totals for 02/03/75
COUNT 2

      03/04/05
Totals for 03/04/05
COUNT 2

FINAL TOTALS
COUNT 6

Yeah, I just did.

Sean, is there a way to get the break text to be the date ? the yy mm dd?

I want to have a total break by date. That is working. But I want the
date
itself to appear in the total break description. Do you have to combine
them as one field ?

I don't know about "have to" but that's how we do it.  I often build two
fields, since our users like MDY dates, and they don't sort well.

yy * 10000 + mm * 100 + dd
mm * 10000 + dd * 100 + yy

Then if it's a printed report, I use an edit word '  /  /  ' to make it
look good for the user.
