"Group by" annually

[mark]

How can I use "Group By" or a formula to group my query results in
1-year periods from a given date, e.g. 3 groups:
1 Sept 2001 - 1 Sept 2002
1 Sept 2002 - 1 Sept 2003
1 Sept 2003 - 1 Sept 2004

Thanks,

Mark

In the Field row of your query, enter:
FinYear: Year(DateAdd("m", -8, [DateField]))
replacing "DateField" with the name of your date field.
This returns 2001 for all dates between 1 Sep 2001 and 31 Aug 2002.

You can now Group By this calculated field.

Thanks, Allen. For those others who might want to know, I added one
enhancement & here's what I ended up with:
Year(DateAdd("m",(-1)*DatePart("m",[DateField]),[DateField]))
