I have a column in which the date is entered in mm/dd/yyyy format.

create a month column from date column
If I change the format in F2, how can I run a subtotal of all values for May?
How can I create a pivot table that groups all the values in May when I use F2 as a column header? (it creates a column for each distinct day of the month instead of a May column). Is there a way of doing so? I'm on XP with Excel 2003.
