Hi I have to group the data in my report on the basis of months in a particular year. Foreg. My groups should be like JANUARY 1999 , FEB 99, Mar 99 ------- DEC 99,--------- JAN 2009-----------DEC 2009. My Geroup is based on some Entry_dt column in the database. I'm grouping the report on the basis of entry_dt and in the group expert I have set  it on a monthly basis so the group looks good in the report. But there is one problem now, according to the client he wants the groups on those months also for which the data is not present and so he wants it as a group but under that group no data should be displayed
For instance if the database contains data such as 03/15/2009, 04/16/09 and so on etc. and there is no data present for the month of January and February there should be a group like

January 2009
Entry_dt Name AMOUNT

February 2009
Entry_dt Name AMOUNT

March 2009
Entry_dt   Name          AMOUNT
03/15/2009 Thomaes Scott $ 500

And so on

Now my report displays only the groups for which the dates are present in the ENTRY_DT column.
For Example

And January and February do not show up.

Please help me on this and Also the client wants the first group to start from the January corresponding to the Year(date) which is the earliest in the database. till the date which is the latest.

How to find the solution for this

thanks a lot for the approach but i have already implemented this thing.
