Apple USB-C charge cable not detecting monitor

[questionwonder]

I just bought the Apple USB-C to USB-C charging cable because I needed a longer one than the one that came in the box for the Dell U2723QE monitor I just got. On Apple's website it says it's for charging, syncing, and transferring data between USB-C devices.
Is this cable compatible for displaying monitor data?
The USB-C cable that came with the monitor works to detect the display and I can see just fine, but as soon as I plug in the Apple USB-C cable the monitor isn't detected.
Is there maybe some other setting I need?

That cable is not compatible since it doesn't do DisplayPort, instead you need this one:

Thunderbolt 3 USB‑C Cable 0.8 m - Apple

$159, I'd rather keep my kidney. I'll find one on Amazon.
