Can this be simplified ....

I've omitted the worksheet name, but have you tried something like this?

=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH($B$4:$B$123)=MONTH($A6))*E$4:$E $123)

Also, a Pivot Table may help. You can group dates by month, month and year,
etc.

One way, still keeping it as an *array* formula:

=SUM(IF(TEXT($A6,"mm")=TEXT('Weekly Total -
2005'!$B$4:$B$123,"mm"),'Weekly Total - 2005'!E$4:E$123,"-"))

If you could live with a zero instead of the dash ( - ), when no data meets
the criteria, you could try this *regular*, *non-array* formula:

=SUMPRODUCT((TEXT($A6,"mm")=TEXT('Weekly Total -
2005'!$B$4:$B$123,"mm"))*('Weekly Total - 2005'!E$4:E$123))

Actually, all the formulas return zero in the absence of a match, so, use
the Sumproduct as a more efficient approach.

If you could live with a zero instead of the dash ( - ), when no data meets

The use of the dash is superfluous.

Where the logical test is FALSE, the dashes are just TEXT elements in the
summed array:

=SUM({100;22;"-";50;"-"})

Since SUM ignores text, no harm done and if all elements of the array were
text, SUM = 0.
