Summarize data by month for date range
I have an application that lists projects and the effort required for each. I would like to create a chart that summarizes the total of all effort by month using the start and end dates of the project...

Yes, you are correct. Sounds easy but it is not. One approach would be to have a set up a bunch of of fields on the Project record such as
[Hours Reqd Current Month]
[Hours Reqd Current Month +1]
[Hours Reqd Current Month +2]
[Hours Reqd Current Month +3]
Then you can have a report which shows the hours required each month relative to the current month. Not sure if that can be turned into a chart, but it will give you a decent report.

Clever! I was starting to think this would require coding a webhook or two, and my code-fu is weak. This way sounds sort of brute force, but I think it would work.
