Thank you Per, this worked on the same sheet in different cell. I would like
to have this summary on different sheet. I tried following:

=SUMPRODUCT(SHEET1!(MONTH($A$2:$A$100)=1),SHEET1!( $B$2:$B100="JOHN C"))
But this did not work, please provide further help.

Thanks,

Kimti

Hi

Look at this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH($A$2:$A$100)=1),--($B$2:$B$100="John C"))

You can change the second criteria ("John C") to a cell reference if
you have list with your 11 employees which you want to use.

I have column A with the date and column B with the name of person assigned

person for whole month based on column A dates.

A B
Jan 10, 2010 John C
Jan 12, 2010 Jason B
Jan 13, 2010 John C

John C was assigned two tasks in Month of Jan. Usally I have about 80 tasks
for 11 employees per month.

Thank you in advance for your help.
