The columns are Total for the whole period, Average for a month, then each month. The rows are the same as on the Profit & Loss, except that Revenue is called Income here. The rows are Income, Expenses and Net Income. Look along the Net Income row. The highest figure is the best month, and a negative one is a month with a loss.
Average is Total divided by the number of months. The note at the foot says how many, which can be a fraction if the period starts or ends inside a month.
