Default Round date to first of month

Hey all,
I'm trying to round date entries to the first of the month so that I can
PivotTable on the date field.
I've tried using the Month and Year functions in a formula in a helper
column but the result isn't recognized as a date (even if I add a "1" in
between the two).
I can't seem to find the answer in a previous post.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

A simple example follows:

A B C
Sacramento 8/4/04 $45
Sacramento 8/9/04 $65
San Francisco 9/1/04 $200
Los Angeles 12/3/04 $60
Los Angeles 12/10/04 $75

I'm trying to get the PivotTable to sum on 8/04 or 8/1/04, 9/04, and 12/04.

Thanks again.
