Maybe this

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(A1:A16)=4))

Give this a try for April 2009...

=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(B1:B70000)=4)*(YEAR(B1:B70000)=2009))

Change the 4 (month = April) and 2009 (year of interest) to suit your
conditions. I used 70000 rows to make sure I covered the 60000 rows
(records) you mentioned in your first posting... the number used (same in
both ranges) has to be larger than the number of actual records being
examined.

I tested the formula before I posted it and it worked for me at that time.
Do you have *real* dates in Column B or are they text values (you can check
by looking at Format/Cells)?

Rick
My dates are *real* dates and for your information my date settings are in
dd/mm/yyyy.
Please look into this and advice.
Thanks once again

David Biddulph - 14 Oct 2008 08:34 GMT
When Rick said that you could check by using Format/Cells, what I think he
meant is that if you use Format/ Cells to change the date format
temporarily, for example to dd mmm yyyy, if the display in the cell changes
they are real dates, but if  they don't change they are text.  Try that.

Also, remember to check all the rows in the column.  If, for example, you
have a field description saying "date" in cell B1, this would give a #VALUE!
error from the formula.
You could check with =SUM(--(ISTEXT(B1:B70000))) as an *array formula*
entered with Control Shift Enter.  It should give zero if you have no text
entries in your range.

Friends,
Thanks once again for the help. Rick, once again thanks, the formula advised
by you a master piece. Only mistake i did was there are some gaps in the
column which were filled by "-", so the formula doesn't worked out.

Any how thanks once again you people.

So you don't have an answer to your question yet then, right?

Give this array-entered** formula a try...

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(B1:B65535),MONTH(B1:B65535)=11,0)*IF(ISNUMBER(B1:B65535),YEAR(B1:B65535)=2008,0))

**Commit the formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just with Enter by itself.
