Default Counting using multiple criteria

Thanks for all of you help!

It turns out the date field was formatted as text. When formatted as date
and using the suggestion from Bob Phillips:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(A1:A2)=7),--(YEAR(A1:A2)=2006),--(D1:D2="Complete"))

everything worked great!

Thanks again - Kudos to Bob and Toppers!

Thanks for the help/information... It worked like a charm!!! However
(...here comes the rub...) when I try to use the SUMPRODUCT formula using
data that has been extracted from other fields, it does not seem to work.

Example:

A B C D
11 Jan 2006 Jan 2006 Complete
12 Jan 2006 Jan 2006 Complete

Column B was created using the formula:
=IF(LEN(A1)=11, MID(A1,4,3), MID(A1,5,3))

Column C was created using the formula:
=RIGHT(A2,4)

When I use the following SUMPRODUCT formula,
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B2="Jul"),--(C1:C2=2006),--(D1:D2="Complete"))

I get a result of 0, it should be 2.

What am I doing wrong???

Thanks Again

See Bob's reply:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100="Jan"),--(B2:B100=2006),--(C2:C100="Complete"))

Assumes "Jan" is TEXT not date format

Let me be a bit more specific.

A spreadsheet contains the following data:

A B C
Jan 2006 Complete
Jan 2006 Complete
Feb 2006 Hold
Dec 2006 In Progress
.
.
.
Jan 2007 Complete
Jan 2007 Hold

I would like a count (for example): of the number Complete in Jan of
2006.
(i.e., if month (col A) is Jan and year (Col B) is 2006 and status (Col
C) is
complete then increment a counter - like ANDing 3 countif functions
[i.e.,
countif(a2:a50,"Jan") and countif(b2:b50, "2006") and
countif(c2:c50,"Complete")].

I hope this example bettter expreses the function I am trying to
perform.

Thanks In Advance - Again
