I have two columns: A is Date (format 1-Jan, 14-Feb, 6-Mar, etc.) and B is

the amounts in Column B. How do I accomplish this?

Do you want to sum ALL January dates, or only those for a specified year?

For just the January's of 2009, something like:

=sumif(a:a,"="&date(2009,1,1),b:b) - sumif(a:a,""&date(2009,1,31),b:b)
