hello

If your field is called MyDate, use MonthStart(MyDate)

if you date format is 'dd/mm/yyyy' then convert the format to 'yyyy-mm-dd' and the use Monthstart(Date).

see attached file.

If the field is numeric and Qlikview can interpretate it as a date,  functions like monthstart will work, no matter the date format.

Thanks Julian. It worked perfectly without changing formats. My dates were DD/MMM/YYYY.

Thanks for helping out.
