Getting Column Names

Hi,

     I have a table where the columns keep changing based on the current month.Which is if I have Sep as me current month then

     columns will start from Sep 2011(if sep is current month) to Aug 2012.

   

     I have to populate a straight table based on these columns and now these columns cannot be static as the column names keep changing

     for every month.

     Could you please suggest a way where I can populate the Grid so that no matter the column names change I need the staright5 table getting populated

     with the field names present in the table (though the field names aree changing).

Regards

Navin,

Insted of using Straight table, use pivot table and month should be as Dimension. Drag this month to the end of the pivot table toward right horizontally.
