exactly
as I
had suggested didn't you? The Month() function returns 1-12, not any
abbreviation. That's why I wrapped it in the Choose() function...
PIVOT Choose(Month([MONTH]),"JAN","FEB", "MAR", "APR", "MAY",
"JUN", "JUL", "AUG", "SEP", "OCT","NOV", "DEC") In
("JAN", "FEB", "MAR", "APR", "MAY", "JUN", "JUL", "AUG", "SEP",

Hello Duane and Good Morning, I suppose you read that,
When I type "JAN" the system does not changes it to the Greek
abreviation but just don't recognizes it, I have to type the Greek
one.
The code you proposed me works, what the underscore "_" does to the
system? Can we achieve so my column heading appears without the
underscores?
Thank you.
PS: I want my SQL Server now! but until come to SQL Server I'm stuck
with Access, not that underestimate its abilities.

something
like:
Try:
PIVOT Choose(Month([MONTH]),"_JAN_","_FEB_", "_MAR_", "_APR_",
"_MAY_",
"_JUN_", "_JUL_", "_AUG_", "_SEP_", "_OCT_","_NOV_", "_DEC_") In
("_JAN_","_FEB_", "_MAR_", "_APR_", "_MAY_","_JUN_", "_JUL_",
"_AUG_",
"_SEP_", "_OCT_","_NOV_", "_DEC_")

Yes of course it does, my language, Greek to be exact. The code
you
expected is working properly if I had set my regional settings in
English. The problem is that my regional settings are set in
greek,
and
want to keep it that way, so the abreviations are in greek
(column
headings) but I want to show them in english no matter what my
regional
settings are. As you already know this frustration (if its the
right
word) occurs because Access recognizes the regional settings of
the
machine, and treats dates based the selected region - language.
PS: don't tell me to change my date settings, I don't want that.
Thank you very much dealing with my problem!

I would expect to see:
PIVOT Choose(Month([MONTH]),"JAN","FEB", "MAR", "APR", "MAY",
"JUN", "JUL", "AUG", "SEP", "OCT","NOV", "DEC") In
("JAN", "FEB", "MAR", "APR", "MAY", "JUN", "JUL", "AUG", "SEP",
"OCT","NOV", "DEC")

It returns JUN, here it works alright but when I'm using it in
a
Pivot
query it does not affects the values because the in
("JAN","FEB","MAR","APR",..."DEC") of Pivot clause
overpowers the returned value of choose function:
an example:
PIVOT Choose(Month([MONTH]),"grJAN","grFEB", "grMAR", "grAPR",
"grMAY",
"grJUN", "grJUL", "grAUG", "grSEP", "grOCT","grNOV", "grDEC")
In
("JAN", "FEB", "MAR", "APR", "MAY", "JUN", "JUL", "AUG",
"SEP",
"OCT","NOV", "DEC")

Please reply with your complete sql view that produces the
same
problem.
If you open the immediate window and type:
?Choose(Month(Date()),"JAN","FEB","MAR","APR",..."DEC")
what do you see?

Hello Duane and thank you for your reply,
the technic with the choose function you suggested did not
solved
my
problem, it produces the same problem I wrote in my 1st
post,
any
other
tricks?

Hello all,
I am facing a problem with the abreviation of the month
when
used
as
a
column heading in my query. Because of my regional
settings
(Greek)
the
abreviation of month, using Format(DateField, "mmm"),
appears
in
greek
and
of
course it's correct but I want to translate each of the
abreviation
in
english. When I do this, the count of carmaker returns
Null
instead
the
total of car registrations. My query goes like this:
TRANSFORM Count(Registrations.CarMake) AS CountOfMake
SELECT Type FROM Registrations
GROUP BY Type
PIVOT
IIf(Format([RegDate],"mmm")="grJAN","JAN",Format([RegDate],"mmm"));
I tried this too with no luck:
TRANSFORM Count(Registrations.CarMake) AS CountOfMake
SELECT Type FROM Registrations
GROUP BY Type
PIVOT
IIf(Format([RegDate],"mmm")="JAN","grJAN",Format([RegDate],"mmm"))
In
("JAN");
Is there any solution for this without creating a table
and
insert
my
data,
this is something that I'd like to avoid.
PS: I present "grJAN" value like this because of the
post,
the
real
value
is
in greek.
Thanks in adavance!
