I want to, for each month of the year 2014 say, to create a loop that will enter data into a table.

Right now I have:

Select [Member Number],
sum(case when [Receipt Date]='2014/01/01' then Amount else 0 end) as [Rec 2014/01/01]
From [Receipts Table]
Group by [Member Number]
Insert into [Receipts 2014/01/01]

Select [Member Number],
sum(case when [Receipt Date]='2014/02/01' then Amount else 0 end) as [Rec 2014/02/01]
From [Receipts Table]
Group by [Member Number]
Insert into [Receipts 2014/02/01]

Instead I would just like to do something like…
Declare i date
For i=2014/01/01 to 2014/12/01

Select [Member Number],
sum(case when [Receipt Date]=i then Amount else 0 end) as [Rec +i]

From [Receipts Table]
Group by [Member Number]
Insert into [Receipts + i]

Don’t know if this is at all possible?

Create Procedure [dbo].[SP_TestDateInsert](@Fromdate date,@Todate date)
as
begin
declare @i date
set @i = @FromDate
while @i <= @ToDate
begin
--Insert statement
set @i= dateadd(day,30,@i)
print @i
end
end

Exec [SP_TestDateInsert] '2014/01/01','2014/10/01'

Not sure why you want to write a loop in SQL. That way leads to the dark side.
