try this

Date(monthstart(("Arrival Date"), 'MMM-YY')  as MonthYear

[Chanty4u]

Date(monthstart(("Arrival Date"), 'MMM-YYYY')  as MonthYear

or

date(MonthStart(date#(Datefield,'DD/MM/YYYY')),'MMM-YYYY')   as MonthYear

Note: DD/MM/YYYY   this you need to give your datefield format

[Thiago_Justen_]

There is a function that could do this:

MonthName (datefield) as MonthYear

How is your date field originally formatted?

Try the syntax below, taken from the built in autocalendar:

Dual(Year("Arrival Date")&'-'&Month("Arrival Date"), Monthstart("Arrival Date")) AS [ArrivalYearMonth]
