query question

    got it to work , as u have said, datepart works like a charm, manage to get mth and week out of it. however, datepart only allows 2 arguments so i can't input week and year together in 1 column. is it possible to have 2 dateparts, each extracting year and month, and then combining the data together in one column in the same datasheet. i believe a stored procedure/view is needed here? or are there other alternatives?

    Thanks, Eric

    Yes, and you don't need a SP for that. You can do it directly in the query. Result of DATEPART is a number, so you just have to convert that to string and concatenate the two strings together. Following SQL produces "week/year" format, i.e. result is in one column (for current date, result is 9/2006):

    SELECT CONVERT(varchar(2),DATEPART(wk, @date)) + '/' + CONVERT(varchar(4),DATEPART(yy,@date))
