Use case: I want to group an event table by month, and have a date field with the full event date.

Is it possible to just get the month out of that field, so I can group by it? Perhaps by adding a custom format option, so I can output just what's needed? Or do I have to have a separet field for just the month?

Fixed this by making the default format for the field just output the month.

Hi, i'm reoppenning this because this solution only works with one value date.
Multiple date values creates a repeating group field.
Eg.
Date 1 - 15 january 2012 15:40:10
Date 2- 17 January 2012 15:40:10
Date 3 - 01 February 2012 15:40:10

Outputs:
January
Date 1 - 15 january 2012 15:40:10
January
Date 2- 17 January 2012 15:40:10
February
Date 3 - 01 February 2012 15:40:10

I don't know how to fix it...

thanks for this solution.
i solved this using another path: i created a new view listing all dates from a nid and then used Views Field Views who allows to embed a view as a field in a view.
Then it solved my problem.
