I'd look at SUMIF. If the dates are in A and the values to be summed are in
B, try something like this:

=SUM(IF(MONTH($A$1:$A$19)=1,$B$1:$B$19,""))

...confirmed by pressing CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER. If you only press enter, you'll
get the wrong sum. This is an array formula and the CSE will result in a
braces { } appearing around your formula.

Now, change the 1 to 2 in the formula to get month 2, or February...and so on.

I have about 30 columns of data that start with a date in each of them. I
want to pull all of the January (February, etc) dates from each of the
columns into one column in another worksheet. My second column will have
titles January, February, March, etc and will be filled with the appropriate
data from the first sheet.
