Assuming you have dates in ColA and values in ColB use the below formula

Sum of March
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH($A$1:$A$1000)=3),--($B$1:$B$1000))

Sum of April
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH($A$1:$A$1000)=4),--($B$1:$B$1000))

I am trying to get my excel sheet to count the number items received in a
certain month. For example

02/Mar/09 59
04/Apr/09 62
