Hi Im new to the forum today and could do with a little help!

I am building a spreadsheet to record outstanding and completed jobs over a 12 month period. The end column of each row is the completed date for the job which is displayed as 22-Feb or 1-Mar etc.

I want to count how many jobs were completed in each individual month using the completed date cell but im unsure how I can do this? My old spreadsheet had an extra cell which I simply typed either jan or feb etc into and then I used a count if to display the results. I am trying to reduce the amount of info on the spreadsheet so my ideal answer is to find a way that count if can be used but counts 11-jan, 12-jan, 26-jan all as jobs completed in January.

Thats just my ideal answer and I'm sure its not that simple! Any help would be much appreciated.
