returning value if month is January

Try these array formulas, I'm sure that SumProduct could do it but I
suck at using SumProduct.

1. =SUM(IF(MONTH(F2:F1000)=1,1,0))
2. =SUM(IF(MONTH(F2:F1000)=1,M2:1000,0))

Make sure to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter after entering the formula into the
cell

the first one only returns a "1" even though there are about twenty with this month.

The 2nd one says there is an error in the formula.

Thanks for the suggestion. Does anyone else have an idea.


PS - I forgot to say that month must be Jan. and year must be 2006 in both formulas. I dont want to count transactions from Jan of 2005 or 2004 etc.

Why not use SUMIF function?

=sumproduct(--(text(f2:f1000,"yyyymm")="200601"),m2:m1000)

Adjust the ranges to match--but you can't use whole columns.

=sumproduct() likes to work with numbers. The -- stuff changes trues and falses
to 1's and 0's.

Bob Phillips explains =sumproduct() in much more detail here:

And J.E. McGimpsey has some notes at:
