Grafana with dynamodb, create query that groups by month and counts rows

**1 - Convert field type
Field
transaction_date
as
Time
Input format
YYYY-MM-DD
2 - Group by
transaction_date
Group by
3 - Add field from calculation
Mode
Reduce row
Operation
transaction_date
Calculation
Count
Alias
Count
Replace all fields

This is not working for me, as the days or months are just counted as 1 row. How to do this type of query?

how would you do this query outside of grafana?

I ended up figuring it out with trying different transformations over and over again and adding multiple queries to work together. Thanks.

Sounds like overkill?

Why not no use it’s own query language
