Sum of data on a per month basis

I can't figure out how to do this. I think SUMPRODUCT might be the
key but I can not figure it out.

I need to extract the monthly sums of expenses incurred from a range
of data.

The data set has two columns Date and Price.

The data changes throughout the year and I have had to adjust the sums
ranges by hand and it has led to some human error on my part.

Using functions I want to be able to automatically get total each
month without manually having to adjust the ranges in the data set.

I am using Excel 2007.


Thanks so much.
 
Suppose your dates are in column D and your expenses in column E.
Elsewhere on the sheet you could list the month and year in a column
(eg starting in X1) like this:

Jan-09
Feb-09
Mar-09

Then in Y1 you could have this formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT(D$1:D$100,"mmm-yy")=X1),E$1:E$100)

then copy it down as far as you need to. I've assumed 100 rows of
data, so adjust this if you have more.

Hope this helps.

One approach would be to use a pivot table. With the dates in the Rows area,
sales in the data area, you could select the date and group by months, or
months and years.

E.G. Sum/Total of June = $800 &
Sum/Total of Sep = $1300

Want to get sales sum of months JUNE and SEPTEMBER from B column. Using
