How do I configure the filter by Months instead of daily?

Hi Community,

As you see the image below, it is a list of Posting Dates of my transactions. The blanks mean that it is the same as the dates above. Now, instead of daily Posting Dates, I would like to configure to Monthly.

 

I would like to find out how can I configure by Months instead of Daily?

 

I have tried to right click and check the filter and the sort by, but they don't gives me what I want. Being that I have a year's transactions, I want to sort the data by monthly - from Jan to Dec.

 

Thank you.

    This should automatically add time expandable buttons for dates in PT's (Year, Month, Day).

    Otherwise you should be able to right-click on any of the dates and choose Group. Then select which grouping(s) you want.
