Count by month

I have a column of dates indicating when a particular event happened.  I want to make a graph showing the count of those events per year-month.  I tried the chart object with my statistic being N(DateOfEvent) and the Additional Role being Grouping Month Year[DateofEvent}, but I get an error about too many points.

Re: Count by month

If you're wanting to just plot the number of events in a month, couldn't you just plot N(Month-Year) and not have a grouping variable?  The way you have it right now its going to plot a bar for every single date in your data table.
