As Peo pointed out in another post:-

For January you need to add another condition

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(A1:A100)=1),--(ISNUMBER(A1:A100)))

it's because that excel sees blank cells as zero and excel dates dtart with
January zero 1900 the unary minuses will convert boolean values of true and
false to 1 and 0

I have been seeing "--" in formulae but cannot find an explanation of what
it is or does.

Example: =SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(B2:B13)=1), C2:C13)
