On sheet 1 I have the months across the top row and lets say that the month
of March is in c1. On sheet 2 I have a column (d1:d20) with many dates, and
I want to count the number of dates in the month of March.
I think it would go something like this,
=countif(month(sheet 2(d1:d20)),sheet 1(c1))
I may not have all of the () in the right place but hope you get the idea.

Assume Sheet1 column headers are plain text, while dates in Sheet2 are true
dates, try this *array* formula:

=COUNT(IF(TEXT(Sheet2!D1:D20,"mmmm")=C1,Sheet2!D1: D20))

--
Array formulas are entered using CSE, <Ctrl <Shift <Enter, instead of the
regular <Enter, which will *automatically* enclose the formula in curly
brackets, which *cannot* be done manually.

Sorry, I should have stated that both can be in the same format. mmm-yy,

Then try this *array* formula:

=COUNT(IF(MONTH(Sheet2!D1:D20)=MONTH(C1),Sheet2!D1 :D20))

Is there anyway I can send you an example is spread sheet form?

I would like to show you what I mean, so let me try again. On one
worksheet(sheet #1) i have the months across the top, Jan thru Dec. (Jan 05
Feb 05 Mar 05.....Dec 05)
On a second worksheet (sheet #2) I have a column of random dates of 05.
Assume that in the column on sheet #2 there are 15 dates in May 05. I want
to be able to count the dates in May and show them on Sheet#1 under May 05).
Below you suggested
=COUNT(IF(MONTH(Sheet2!D1:D20)=MONTH(C1),Sheet2!D1 :D20)) and it seems to
return alot of errors.

First of all, this is an *array* formula, so, to repeat:

Array formulas are entered using CSE, <Ctrl <Shift <Enter, instead of the
regular <Enter, which will *automatically* enclose the formula in curly
brackets, which *cannot* be done manually.

Did you enter the formula correctly?

Second, are the dates on both sheets *true* XL recognized dates, and *not*
text entries that you keyed in?
