One method is to create at table of dates, called Months,  by importing a sheet from Excel of a long range of YYYY-MM's which represents each month in a text format like 2017-1  (or 2017-01 if you think that reads easier).

Set the Key field of that table to be the YYYY-MM field.

On the child tables of Opps and Leads, make a field of YYYY-MM.

List("-", ToText(Year([lead date])), Right("0" & Month([Lead date]),2))

Then make a relationship back to the Months Table and make a summary field of the # of leads that month.  Then repeat for Opps.

Be sure to set the Key field of the months table to the YYYY-MM field.

On the relationship, be sure that you are using the field you created on the right aside of the relationship ie a formula field that calculates to YYYY-MM

Post back if you have dome both those things and yet its still not working.
