WHat tool are you using for this?

I gather what you are saying is

Data is

Customer     Date of Sale    AMount
Cust1             1 Oct 11         100
Cust1             3 Oct 11         150


You want to see
1 Oct 11       100
2 Oct 11           0
3 Oct 11       150

The answer provided is certainly a valid solution for Crystal Reports. However, the question was also posted in the Oracle zone and my response provided an Oracle solution. I'm not objecting, just making a comment.
Can you explain what it does?

Yes, the subquery simply creates date values from the first day to the last day of the month previous to the current month, which can then be left joined to the table on the date fields being equal. Where the date field doesn't exist in the table, the count will be zero.
