In your example data points what do you want summed? All the fields or
sum all for one day?

Todd this can be done by first adding a group for month (you can hide
the header and footer so they do not show up in the output). Then use
an aggregate on the group to aggregate MAX value for the budget column
for the month and finally add a final aggregate that sums up all the MAX
aggregates. Take a look at the attached example. I added a computed
column to the bindings to figure out the month first, then grouped, then
added first agg, then the budget total. Finally I hid the group header
and footer using visibility expression.
