Default COUNTIF....

I intend to produce a bar chart showing months along the 'X' axis. To do this
however, I need to summarise hundreds of dates (formatted dd/mm/yyyy) into
Jan - Dec. I have been trying the COUNTIF function, but am unsure of how to
apply a 'like' feature; for instance: COUNTIF(B7:B5000, like "06") to show
all entries in June.
