@MCDPRO, our team is responsible for creating the SDK based on the provided Swagger spec. As such, our domain knowledge regarding the specific use cases for each API is limited.
Add @HarveyLink to assist with a sample; however, we cannot assure its accuracy.

Hi @MCDPRO , thank you for your feedback. Regarding the issue you mentioned, I will provide a runnable example. In Azure SDK, client.UsageQueryAsync() by default only has Number type UsageDate and String type Currency in columns. Therefore, we need to add aggregation in the dataset parameter so that columns can have the cost we need. Also, if you want to get the cost of the last complete month, TimeframeType.TheLastBillingMonth is a good choice. If you need to get it by year, the custom part in the original code is feasible. Here is a runnable example:

private static async Task GetCostForTimeFrame(ArmClient client, ResourceIdentifier id, TimeframeType timeFrame)
{
    try
    {
        var queryDataSet = new QueryDataset()
        {
            Granularity = GranularityType.Daily,
            Aggregation =
            {
                ["Cost"] = new QueryAggregation(function: FunctionType.Sum, name: "PreTaxCost")
                {
                }
            },
        };
        var query = new QueryDefinition(ExportType.Usage, timeFrame, queryDataSet);
        if (timeFrame == TimeframeType.Custom)
        {
            var today = DateTime.UtcNow;
            var startDate = new DateTime(today.Year, today.Month, 1).AddYears(-1);
            var endDate = new DateTime(today.Year, today.Month, 1).AddDays(-1);
            query.TimePeriod = new QueryTimePeriod(startDate, endDate);
        }

        var result = await client.UsageQueryAsync(id, query);

        var x = result.Value;
        var y = result.GetRawResponse();
        foreach (var row in result.Value.Rows)
        {

            Console.WriteLine($"Date: {row[1]}, Cost: {row[0].ToString()}");
        }

    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
}

It's worth mentioning that row[2] represents the currency unit of the cost. If needed, you can add it yourself. Also, please make sure to write the subscription, resourcegroup, and resource correctly. If you need to query the cost data for an entire year, please be aware of the API endpoint's request limit to avoid errors like "too many requests". You can refer to this document for further work, it will help you to use the SDK better. If you have any further questions, please reply to me under this issue. I will reply as soon as I see it to help you solve the problem better.
