I want to get expenseAmount grouped by Year + Month. I tried

`db.expenses.aggregate( 
       {$project : { 
              month : {$month : "$entryTime"}, 
              year : {$year :  "$entryTime"}
          }}, 
        {$group : { 
                _id : {month : "$month" ,year : "$year" },  
              total : {$sum : "$expenseAmount"} 
        }})`

Which gives

{ "_id" : { "month" : 7, "year" : 2017 }, "total" : 0 }

{ "_id" : { "month" : 8, "year" : 2017 }, "total" : 0 }

Please guide me how can I get aggregated result. I could not figure out the way to do that.

Thanks

  db.expenses.aggregate( 
    {$group : { 
            _id : { 
          month : {$month : "$entryTime"}, 
          year : {$year :  "$entryTime"}
      }},  
          total : {$sum : "$expenseAmount"} 
    }})

No need to add "project", only group will do everything.

There wont be any need for $project in this case.Just use the below and you would get the expected result.

 db.expenses.aggregate( 
   {$group : { 
           _id : { 
         month : {$month : "$entryTime"}, 
         year : {$year :  "$entryTime"}
     }},  
         total : {$sum : "$expenseAmount"} 
   }})
