What is your expected end result?

[hic]

A chart always groups by the dimension. So you need to have a field that you want to group by and use this as dimension. Or you create a calculated dimension, e.g. =Month(CREATE_DATE). Then the aggregation (the expression) will be calculated for each value of the dimension.

take any chart except gauge ....while showing month as a group i think radar chart is best

write the dimension as

=month(date#(left(8),mm/dd/yyyy)

expression as sum(MSG_ID)

if u want to show trend take a line chart

take two dimensions

1.=year(date#(left(8),mm/dd/yyyy)

2.=month(date#(left(8),mm/dd/yyyy)

expression as sum(MSG_ID)

default chart shows group by itself....
