Aggregation of data by month

[#1]

Hello,

I am trying to aggregate values on a monthly basis.

I have the following data points:

Date	Revenue
4/9/2012	50,000
4/9/2012	140,000
5/8/2012	40,000
5/31/2012	50,000
6/5/2012	50,000

I would like to instead present the data as

Date	Revenue
April 2012	190,000
May 2012	90,000
June 2012	50,000

I am not able to follow the example presented here:

If possible could someone provide a more straightforward way of doing this?

Create a chart:

- create a dynamic dimension using =date(MonthStart(Date) , 'MMM YYYY')

- create an expression =sum(Revenue)

Done.
