You see "Aug-16" in column A due to cell formatting. But SUMIFS compares the actual dates, not the cell appearance.
PS.... SUMIFS(...,"Aug-16") returns a non-zero value because "Aug-16" is interpreted as 8/16/2016. To demonstrate, enter =--"Aug-16" formatted as Short Date. Rows 158, 159 and 199 have amounts on 8/16/2016, which total 42.29, the same value that SUMIFS(...,"Aug-16") returns. The categories are not "Cash".
PPS.... In order to filter for 8/16/2016, we need to use the Between option. The Equals option looks at the cell appearance (case-insensitive). :-(
