    Have you tried deselecting days.

    That is just a first suggestion, perhaps you could post which program/app/version you are using, as it could be one of several....

    yes. I get month totals if I just have months selected.

    I want the months total to appear after 30th Nov usage where there is a blank space after Dec.

    Add days back into the grouping option.
    Click anywhere in the pivottable, click in the Design tab in the Pivottable Tools section of the tab bar. You should see a Subtotals button appear in the menu bar. Choose one of the 'show all subtotals' options.

    There you have one neat method. As is typical within Excel several ways to get the subtotals from the data.
