Hello,
maybe the solution to my problem has already been given, but since I haven't been able to access the forum's search engine for two days, I couldn't find it, so if that's the case, thank you for providing me with the link to the solution.
Actually, I have a report that involves a cross-tab query, and the dates involved all pertain to a specific month since it’s a dialog box that asks me to select the month before running the report. However, I would like to display this month as a title at the top, so I opened a field in which I entered: "=month([DATE])" but the result returned is in numbers (e.g., 1 for January) whereas I want the full name of the month to be displayed, so it shows January and not 1. Is this possible?
I hope I have been clear enough; if not, please feel free to ask for more details, and thank you for your help.

Good evening,
Here is the great secret to obtaining the date in plain text:

=Format(Date();"Date, complete")

Re-good evening,

Upon re-reading, I believe that:

="Month processed: " & Format([DateField];"\ mmmm"" ""yyyy")
is appropriate for your needs...

mmmm -> month in its literal form
yyyy -> year in 4 digits

That is: May 2006 (for example)

Best regards

Hello,

To display the month, the syntax to use is as follows:

In SQL:

SELECT Month([<Field_Name_Date>]) AS Month, [<table_name>].[<Field_Name_Date>]) FROM [<table_name>];


Or (in design mode) on the 'Field' line

No: Month([<Date_Field>])

Hello
I tried but I get the message

The input expression contains an invalid period (.), exclamation point (!), or parentheses ().

When I set the value in creation mode on the field, it asks me to enter a parameter value
<champ_date>

I need to replace the entire string: <champ_date>
with the name of the field that contains the date to format

See you +
