Fun With dates

Hi All
I'm going around in circles with this one.
In my Data Table I have a few different date columns. 

Two main ones are
Session Date & Approved Date

Most stuff runs off the Approved date
But I want to make a visual using the Session date (by Month).

When I do a Month by Month count and a Cumulative count of the Session Dates, it is grouping by the approved date. 
eg - Session that was held in March is counting as June as this was the date it was approved.
I'm pretty sure I can overide the date relationship but I can't remember how.

But then again I suspect if I do that the date fileter for the report (which runs off the approved date) will probbaly break it.

Any tips or advice?

Thanks

Thats exactly what I need.
Been looking at it so long today I have mushed my brain 😁

When i googled I wasn't using multiple dates as a parameter so i wasn't getting the right answers.

Much appreciated.

That's what we're here for, feel free to ask 🙂
