You might consider this. Notice 500 for both instead of 502 and 500

=sumproduct((Info!$B$5:$B$500="May")*(Info!$L$5:$L $500=15))

if you are looking at real dates in col B instead of text for the months
=sumproduct((month(Info!$B$5:$B$500)=5)*(Info!$L$5 :$L$500=15))

Why doesn't this formula work. Information is being pulled from an
Access97
database into 'Info' worksheet. This information is then being analysed in
another worksheet using this formula in one of the cells, but it doesn't
recognise anything labelled 'May' seems count everything. Seperate cells
for
other months.
