That would be my error then... The grouping was set automatically by the
Access Chart Wizard. As of yet I have no idea on how to change that. What I
am hoping to acheive is a total count of all received per month, all sent per
month, and all that are marked as being due per month. However there is not
a one for one relationship. Some receives, (short for Request Received), do
not have a due date and not all have been sent out yet.

What I did was create a query that pulled everything for this year and then
used to Chart to try to graphically show the data in Access. I also exported
the query to Excel and used formula to get the data for an Excel chart.
That's how I know what I want to see as a result but so far I cannot get
Access to do what Excel can.

Maybe I am not understanding what you are trying to count in each case. What
I posted shows count of the date fields that had dates with the same month as
that of the [Received Date] as that is how you are grouping.

Wow, Very close... The error level is no where nearly as bad as what I was
getting but there's still something not quite right. For instance, the
numbers for april and may are reporting the same as originally but Jan-Mar
has a +/- of 1 error.

Does it matter that I have blanks in the data?

I left off closing parenthesis for the Sum. Try it now --
SELECT (Format([Received Date],"MMM")), Count([Received Date]) AS [Qty
Received], Sum(IIF(Month([DueBy Date])=Month([Received Date]), 1, 0)) AS [Has
Due Date], Sum(IIF(Month([SentOn Date])=Month([Received Date]), 1, 0)) AS
[Qty Sent]
FROM [qryDeliveries]
GROUP BY (Year([Received Date])*12 + Month([Received
Date])-1),(Format([Received Date],"MMM"));

Thank You for helping... I get a syntax error that says "Missing Operator"
in query expression and then a huge string of the SQL statement that starts
and stops at the below.

Sum(IIF(Month([DueBy Date])=Month([Received Date]), 1, 0) AS [Has Due Date],
Sum(IIF(Month([SentOn Date])=Month([Received Date]), 1, 0) AS [Qty Sent]
FROM [qryDeliveries]
GROUP BY (Year([Received Date])*12 + Month([Received

My Access Chart is not showing the data correctly. It's only counting line
items by month per row and I am trying to get it to count each column as it's
own data set.

Chart SQL:
SELECT (Format([Received Date],"MMM")),
Count([Received Date]) AS [Qty Received],
Count([DueBy Date]) AS [Has Due Date],
Count([SentOn Date]) AS [Qty Sent]
FROM [qryDeliveries]
GROUP BY (Year([Received Date])*12 + Month([Received

I'm certainly doing something wrong and I have no idea how to fix it.

Thanks In Advance,
