Count Records in a Group

Hello All.
I'm running SSRS 2005 on top of a sql2000 database.
I need to create a report that counts the number of invoices salesreps
process per month.
The fields I have selected are;
SalesRep ID Invoice No Invoice Date
1 5467 2/22/2006 3:06:17 PM
5 4526 2/22/2006 3:29:56 PM
8 6589 6/14/2005 4:20:26 PM
5 8569 2/22/2006 3:29:56 PM
5 2563 6/10/2007 8:29:56 AM
5 1523 2/22/2006 3:29:56 PM
8 9876 8/23/2006 5:29:56 PM
1 7563 4/23/2006 1:29:56 PM
What i want to do is group by Salesrep ID, then show the total number of
invoices that rep did per month;
SalesRep ID Month TotalInvoices Processed
1 Jan 4
Feb 2
Mar 5
5 Jan 5
Feb 6
Mar 3
8 Jan 2
Feb 10
Mar 20 ... and so on.
I'm not sure exactly how to do this. Also how do I convert the date format
into just showing the month, not every minute of every day?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.You want to do this with the sql statement. Since you didn't show your SQL I
had to make up names.
select a.salesrepid, datepart(month, a.invoicedate) as month, count(*) as
invoices_count from yourtable a
group by a.salesrepid, datepart(month, a.invoicedate)
order by a.salesrepid, month
Note this gives you month by number which is what you need in order to order
it properly, if you want by month name then add that in and still order by
the month number to keep in in the proper order.

Here is the statement;
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.invoice_hdr.salesrep_id,
dbo.invoice_hdr.order_date
FROM dbo.contacts INNER JOIN
dbo.invoice_hdr ON dbo.contacts.id =dbo.invoice_hdr.salesrep_id

which is what you get without the TOP syntax.
SELECT a.salesrep_id, datepart(month,b.order_date) as Month,
datename(month,b.order_date) as Month_Name,count(*) as invoices_count

the DATENAME(month, invoice_date) returns the month only.
How do i get it to return the month and year. I will be setting this up as a
parameter query;
Between @.StartDate and @.EndDate
and want the user to put in May 07 and June 07
thanks again.
