If target date data type is date then right click on the date->format number->date->custom-"yy-MM" place.it will convert the dates in yy-mm format.Assuming number of POs is already a measure object with sum function.
or create variable V date=formatdate([Target date];"yy-MM")
Drag V date and POs objects in the table and it will automaticlly sum .
