    Question formula to count the number of entries within a specific month

    Hi everyone
    I am stuck. I have a spreadsheet of raw data. The data concerns the number of calls taken over the last year. I am trying to write a formula that will count the number of days(entries) within a specific month. I want to determine how many calls were taken in a specific month i.e. June for example. I want to list each month of the year and how many calls were taken within each month. All calls for the year are listed by individual day in column "C" in the MM/DD/YYYY format. This seems rather elementary to me but, today it feels like rocket science.

    Re: formula to count the number of entries within a specific month

    You should use a Pivot Table:

    set "Column C" as both Row Field and Data Field (set to COUNT rather than SUM)
    right click on any Row Item and choose to Group by both Years & Months
    re: grouping - see: http://www.contextures.com/xlpivot07.html

    If you want to persist with formulae (I wouldn't given above) you can use a single SUMPRODUCT or 2 COUNTIF functions.
