count crosstab query

hello all,

I have a query which has the following columns [subsno] [amount billed] [date]


I'm having trouble figuring SQL syntax on how to do a crosstab query where the column headings would be the date, the rows would be the amount billed and the values would be a count of that billed amount in a particular month(date).

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

[Update]

okay so I figured out the basics of the syntax:
transform count([amount billed])
select [amount billed]
from total_billed_bygroup
group by [amount billed]
pivot [date];


Also, how can I make the query only give me dates past a specified point. For example everything past 12/2010

note: dates are in this form: 12/2010 would be 21012

thanks again
