Hi aploshnick!

One way:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(A1:A7)=3),(B1:B7))

MONTH(A1:A7)=3 is an implicit IF statement and the --
coerces the
response of TRUE and FALSE to 1 and 0.

Assume that column A (rows 2-7)has dates in it and
Column
B (rows 2-6)has $ amounts. I want to sum the amounts in
Column B for those rwos where the month in column A is
March. The formula "=SUMIF(MONTH(A2:A7),3,B2:B7)"
doesn't
work. Can anyone help?
