Group Date to Month-Year without duplicates

Hello dear Qlik Community,

I have dates, which I would like to convert and group on month-year basis, so I could use it as a filter in QS app.

When I do conversion Date(POSTING_DATE,'MM-YYYY') then as a result, I get duplicate results. For example,
for each date, which is in January 2019, I get '01-2019'. However, I would like to have only one '01-2019' per
all the dates, which are in January 2019. How to achieve this?

Thanks
maasool

another solution is

date(monthstart(POSTING_DATE),'MM-YYYY') 

Your solution is showing only month and year but datas are stored with day also.

If your data is duplicating, the issue is not with the period...

Can you upload your file here?
