I have a crosstab query to breakdown monthly charges by month for 2013 . . . a query formats the A/R date to "MMMM"

Since we are only 3 months into the year . . . my report is returning an error message when trying to open that it cannot find "April" . . . what do I need to do for it to show all months?

Many thanks.
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
I guess you either set the report up so it can handle the missing data (not sure how) or you include some "seed" values for the missing months (i.e., dummy transactions with 0.00 dollar amounts, one for each month of the year).

The crosstab will only display existing data, unless you hard-wire the columns to always give you the full set.
To do that, go into the Crosstab design and right-click in the grid below Column Headings. Select the Properties and edit the Column Headings row to be something like "July","August","September", ... etc for the rest of the year.
This does 2 things:
1. Ensures that the columns always display
2. Sets the order of the columns
