count the occurance of a particular month in a column of dates

[Ray Sr]

I'm having no luck getting a total count of the number of times a particular
month is present in a date column.

This is what I've been trying to get a count of the number of dates that
fall in the month of July, regardless of the year:

=COUNT(MONTH(I$1:I286),7)

Can anyone help me solve this little problem

=Sumproduct(--(MONTH(I$1:I286)=7))
best wishes

That worked fine, but I have column headings every 41 rows for printing
purposes which I think screwed things up a bit, so I used that formula to do
sub-totals before each new set of headings and it worked great! Thanks
