Glad it's sorted. Perhaps you could let us know why Toppers' formula wasn't
working for you and how you solved it, for the benefit of the group archive
and other readers who may have similar problems?

Change =SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(A2:A100)=6),B2:B100) to
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH('Sheet 2'!A2:A100)=6),'Sheet 2'!B2:B100)
if you want to retrieve data from a sheet called Sheet 2.
