say our data in A1 thru B100:

8/1/2007 $134.00
9/1/2007 $109.00
10/1/2007 $176.00
11/1/2007 $117.00
12/1/2007 $122.00
1/1/2008 $126.00
2/1/2008 $123.00
3/1/2008 $168.00
4/1/2008 $141.00
5/1/2008 $127.00
6/1/2008 $140.00
7/1/2008 $151.00
8/1/2008 $180.00
9/1/2008 $172.00
10/1/2008 $167.00
11/1/2008 $181.00

Now we only want year-to-date. In another cell:

=SUMPRODUCT((YEAR(A1:A100)=2008)*(B1:B100)) displays 1676

because 2007 values are excluded
