    Hi Chris,

    Thank you so much, seems to be doing the job however, the will be a broader dataset and more months. I would these records to the sample dataset

    ('2012-12-03','DM1','Monday',441),

    ('2012-12-03','DM3','Monday',10),

    ('2012-12-10','DM4','Monday',25),

    ('2013-12-02','DM1','Monday',1521),

    ('2013-12-03','DM4','Monday',4021),

    ('2013-12-03','DM4','Monday',25),

    ('2014-12-03','DM1','Thursday',1521),

    ('2014-12-03','DM3','Thursday',4021),

    ('2014-12-03','DM4','Thursday',25)

    You don't have "month" anywhere on your report. Should it appear as a column in the output or as part of the title? It could be implicit - you could include the date in the title somewhere, and the users know that the report is for October 2014/2013/2012.
