How can I Sum(Total <MonthName(Date)> Amount) ?

I have a pivot table which as Monthname(date), Date as dimension, Sum(Amount) as expression and it's subtotaling correctly for each Monthname(), but I can't seem to get in an expression the total for each Monthname(Date). Any pointers?

Total qualifier works with field names, not with expressions. But I would expect that sum(total < Date > Amount) return what you need. Doesn't it? If not, it makes sense to create a separate field for month.

No it's not working, and is returning the sum(total) per date, as I'm guessing since date is a subdimension of monthname(date).

And yes, I've decided to regenerate my QVD with a separate field for the Monthname to avoid this issue. Thanks for your reply.
