Re: [libreoffice-users] Pivot Tables - Monthly subtotals

Actually, I figured out how to get what I wanted. This is the way:

1. Build the pivot table with Transaction Date as rows, Object as
   columns, and counts of Transacations as data fields
2. Click any date in the Transaction Date column
3. Date | Group and Outline | Group
4. Select the "Intervals" radio button under "Group By"
5. Check the "Months" checkboxes under "Group By"

This will group transaction data by month. If there are data from 
multiple years, then also check the "Years" checkboxes under "Group By" 
in the Group dialog box. This will avoid group data from every January 
from every year in the same row (if that's not what you want).

What was getting me stuck was that the Transaction Date must be in the 
rows field. You cannot do this with Transaction Date in the columns 
field, as I wanted to.
