Given the table above, here are some examples of using a MONTH() function in a sheet:

Formula

Description

Result

=MONTH([Sold Date]1)

Returns the representing month number for row 1 in the销售日期column (February)

2

=SUMIF([Sold Date]1:[Sold Date]3, MONTH(@cell) = 2, [Transaction Total]1:[Transaction Total]3)

Sums the values in theTransaction Totalcolumn if the value in the销售日期column return a month value equal to2. Rows 1, 2, and 3 meet the criteria.

$3473

=COUNTIF([Sold Date]:[Sold Date], MONTH(@cell) = 2)

When the MONTH function contains a blank cell within the range of dates it is reviewing, it will produce the #INVALID DATA TYPE error. This is expected behavior. To resolve this, you’ll want to utilize an IFERROR function.

#INVALID DATA TYPE

=COUNTIF([Sold Date]:[Sold Date], IFERROR(MONTH(@cell), 0) = 2)

By wrapping the MONTH function in an IFERROR function, the function will no longer produce an error.

This formula counts the number of values in the销售日期column that are equal to2(February).
