Combining multiple date/sum fields within the same table

Combining multiple date/sum fields within the same table

i have a CRM table which gets populated as certain events occur.  It has 6 date fields and each date field has a corresponding amount field. It also has a lookup to an Account record. For simplicity, let's just call them:

Date 1                      Amount 1
Date 2                     Amount 2
Date 3                     Amount 3
Date 4                     Amount 4
Date 5                     Amount 5
Date 6                     Amount 6

I need to create a query that shows:

Account
Month/Year - would ideally show all months, even if no amounts recorded but that is not essential
Total - sum of all amounts that correspond to that date, regardless of whether date 1/date 2 etc.

I have tried to many different ways to do this, but can't seem to get it right.  Any help would be gratefully received.
