Dear All,

I need to write a query that sum the data of every month data suppose column name test and update the sum value to last date of the month in column test1?

Storing calculated values violates generally accepted practices plus you haven't provided enough information.  If you are going to sum the records for a particular month, where are you going to store the sum?  You said you want to update a column named "test" but where would that column be?  And if you were thinking of storing it in the table where the detail data lives, what record did you want to update?
The best, most correct solution is to calculate the sums as you need them in queries and reports.  That way you know they are always accurate and current.

check here so many examples are explained over here,

No.  You don't need to store the sum.  You especially don't need to store the sum in a detail record.  You need to sum the data in your reports or queries as you need it.  If you can post the table definition and a small sample of data, someone will help you create a query that sums the detail.
