Is there a formula to list the number of items sold in a month from a long list of data ..

Hi Guys just joined and have a problem.

I have searched the internet for the solution and am getting ready to start head butting the wall. I sure there is a very simple answer to my problem but google just wont give me it!

What I have is two columns, one (Column A) has a list of products in it ie Coats, Shoes, Hat, etc. The other (Column B) just has the Month they were sold in ie, January, well you get the idea.

What I want to do is list how many Coats were sold in each month and so forth for all the products. Is there a formula for this? I'm pretty sure there is but I'm getting nowhere is google or guessing.

Any help would be most appreciated!

Thanks for you help and apologies if its just me being thick.
