The formula seems has some problems, can only get correct results for May
and June as below.

A B C D
2005/3/1 12 2005/1/1 193
2005/3/4 24 2005/2/1 193
2005/3/17 36 2005/3/1 193
2005/4/2 25 2005/4/1 121
2005/4/6 50 2005/5/1 46
2005/5/8 46 2005/6/1 0

Let A2:B7 house the sample you provided.

In column C from C2 on, enter the first day dates of the month/year
combinations:

1-Jan-2005
1-Feb-2005

etc.

In D2 enter & copy down:


=SUMIF($A$2:$A$7,"="&C2,$B$2:$B$7)-SUMIF($A$2:$A$7,""&EOMONTH(C2,0),$B$2:$
B$7)

[1] The SumProduct function should implicitly coerce the truth values to
their Excel numeric equivalents.

value, defaulting to #N/A in its absence.
