How do I create a new table that sums multiple columns based on the date in another column?

Hello everyone reading this question. I apologize if this has been answered in some other post, but I wasn't able to find exactly how to do what I'm looking for.

 

Here is a sample of my data.

My goal is to make a visual that shows the sum of the [BytesReceived] and [BytesSent] by date and to also not have it separated by [Location]. I assume the best way to do this is to create a new table that sums each column by date and leaves out the [Location], like this.

I'm not sure how to get from the sample data to the new table using a formula or if that is even the best way to go about doing this. These examples were made in Excel for illustrative purposes, but I would need to be able to do this in Power BI. Any suggestions on how I can/should do this?

Just create a Table visualization with only those 3 columns in it and not location.
