| Hello All, I have the following query:I am storing the start month in a variable called @StartMonth. Then I want to cast 'month1' as the month in the @StartMonthselect ISNULL(AVG(month1),0) AS DATENAME(month,@StartMonth)The date store is 'Jul 1 2008 12:00AM', so you can also try the following, but it complains: "incorrect syntac near 'month'. What is wrong with the following?select ISNULL(AVG(month1),0) AS DATENAME(month,'Jul 1 2008 12:00AM')Thank you,Rama |

| I figured out the solution. It was very simple but my brain was not working:Set @Mth1 = DATENAME(month,@StartDate)and then use @Mth1 in my dynamic query. |
