Hi Svensson, Thanks for that. (I can certainly use that to get the values for the added amounts for me) but I wish for the table to be built with 15 days in the left hand column some of which will not contain entries but for the days that there are items I wish for the HTML table to display these beside the correct date of entry. I have no quams with SQL but with arrays in PHP. I guess what I have to do is loop from 1 to 15 using $i to display all of the days in left column, then within the loop check the value $i to see if it is equal to $days[] if it is then add the values for this day and pop it into a column beside the day and then the code next to this. I have tried what I believe to be the best way to do this but have failed miserably as I am crap with array manipulation. Thanks a mil for the SQL though, Michael "B.A.T.
