Answer 1

If I understand correctly. In order to group your results as requested, your Group By clause needs to have the same expression as your select statement.

GROUP BY MONTH(date) + '.' + YEAR(date)

To display the date as "month-date" format change the '.' to '-' The full syntax would be something like this.

SELECT MONTH(date) + '-' + YEAR(date) AS Mjesec, SUM(marketingExpense) AS
SumaMarketing, SUM(revenue) AS SumaZarada 
FROM [Order]
WHERE (idCustomer = 1) AND (date BETWEEN '2001-11-3' AND '2011-11-3')
GROUP BY MONTH(date) + '.' + YEAR(date)
