Hi,
In a workbook Cell G23 is a data box with a dd-mmmm-yy format.
On execution of a macro this data (and lots more) is copy/pasted to another
worksheet. Cell G23 is copy/pasted to next avaiable row in column B.
I need to be able to count the amont of times each different month is shown
in column B, but the pasted data is in the formatt dd-mmmm-yy and my count
formula is just looking for the 'month' name.
I have tried formatting the whole of column B to become just mmmm but this
doesn't work.
Here is the formula that I am using to do the inital 'count'

=SUMPRODUCT((B3:B100="JULY")*(C3:G100<""))

EG
when I paste the date given by the user as 21July05 into the cell required I
need this cell to show JUST 'July' so that it will be counted!

Any ideas/help ??
many thanks
