Hi Jess

Assuming that Names are in column A, Dates in column B and Values in
column C
Assuming you place the Name you want to find in E2 and the Month you
want in F1 in the format of 01 Oct 2006 for October
(This cell can be formatted with FormatCellsNumberCustommmm to just
show Oct if you wish)

In cell F2 enter
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$100=$E2)
*(TEXT($B2:$B100=TEXT(F$1)*($C$2:$C$100))

If you want to add more names down through E3, E4 etc, just drag the
formula down.
Equally, if you add other month dates in G1, H1 etc. you can drag the
formula across to pick up data for other months
