The values in that field have to be all numeric--they can't even be
blanks/empty.

The field itself is a date and each entry does have a date. I've grouped on
it before but can no longer do it. I've tried refreshing, updating the data,
and nothing seems to work. It brought in the data on a daily basis and I'm
trying to group it by month instead.

There may be a left over field from a previous grouping. There are
instructions here on how to fix the problem:
