Topper: I think you got it close. We need to convert sept to the number 9.
Putting it in a datevalue function will get this result.


=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(B2:B1000)=MONTH(DATEVALUE("1-"&A1&"-07"))))

Not sure what exactly you require but ....

=SUMPRODUCT(--(month(B2:B1000)=9))

will give number of dates in B which are September
