I am trying to implement the following function to count the number of
entries I have for January, February, etc.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT(SheetName!J5:J8,"mmmm")="January"))

It works fine for February, March, etc. but not for January because it
reads
the empty cells as being 01/01/1901. Any suggestions? Thanks.
