Question

I have a column in report that should display month and year together i.e single column will have both month and year(this is the first column of the table).

Ex: JAN/11

  FEB/11

    .

    .

 DEC/11

How can I do this?

I assume datecolumn will be your column name and here goes the query –

select DATENAME(month, datecolumn) + '/' + Right(Year(datecolumn),2) from myTable

if you want to show only first three chars always, then –

select CAST(DATENAME(month,datecolumn) as nvarchar(3)) + '/' + Right(Year(datecolumn),2)
from mytable
