How do I get the COUNTIF criteria to recognize only month and yea.
 

How do I get the COUNTIF criteria to recognize only month and year on a range
with specific dates?

Watch out for line breaks
there are two "=" in both formulas
=COUNTIF(A:A,"="&DATE(YEAR($C$1),MONTH($C$1),DAY( 1))) - COUNTIF(A:A,"="&DATE(YEAR($C$1),MONTH($C$1)+1,DAY (1)))


=SUMIF(A:A,"="&DATE(YEAR($D$1),MONTH($D$1),DAY(1) ),B:B) - SUMIF(A:A,"="&DATE(YEAR($D$1),MONTH($D$1)+1,DAY(1 )),B:B)

=SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT(A2:A5,"mmm-yy")=TEXT(E2,"mmm-yy")))

where E2 houses a true date value with the date component set to 1 like
11/1/04.

Why convert to text?

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A5-DAY(A2:A5)=E2-DAY(E2)))

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A5-DAY(A2:A5)=E2-DAY(E2)))

That's an interesting idiom in that it should be robust/hassle-free
across differing date formats.
