The query that is used for the report, it displays two rows and date as columns. For instance, sept 2011 would have row 1 values and row 2 values. For example row 2 has values for sept as 200, for oct as 210, for nov as 220. I wanted to change the row 2 values meaning the Sept values in row 2 would be now the Oct values and the oct values would be nov values.when I used dateadd, it changed both row 1 and row 2, but I need this change only on row 2. Any help would be appreciated

Can you post the query and what you changed.
Difficult to tell what you did from your description.

But frrom the title - yes dateadd does work but maybe not as you expect.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.
