Trouble Grouping records in a matrix

Hi, I have a list of records that I am trying to group by month.

Right now, i have a table below that shows the detail of each record.  The prevMonth is correct and the data shows everything properly.  Here's the formula I'm using

PrevMonth =
CALCULATE(Sum('DB - UserViews'[timebetween]),
    PREVIOUSMONTH('DB - UserViews'[Date]))


Everything is calculating as expected but if I try to group by Month, I visually lose the data in The PrevMonth Column.

My goal is that when I group by Month, the matrix above would show the aggregated result;

Any ideas?

Thanks, Steve

You are grouping by week, not by month. Weeks and months are not compatible.

I"ll have to pass on this then. I'm currently unable to provide the details of this specific issue.  But I appreciate the effort!
