Counting Dates
If I have multiple dates in a single cell, Can I use a formula to count the dates by month? For Example if I have these dates in the single cell 9/4/2019, 9/5/2019, 11/6/2019, 11/7/2019, can I count the number of Septembers (2) and Novembers (2). TY for the help, it is much appreciated.
Excel 2013 and later:
=SUMPRODUCT(0+(TEXT(FILTERXML("<a><b>"&SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","</b><b>")&"</b></a>","//b"),"mmmm")="September"))
Amend month as required.
Slightly more involved if you're on a pre-2013 version of Excel. Let me know.
Regards

Thanks, SergeiBaklan. I hadn't tested with the new dynamic arrays yet, but agreed - that's quite a powerful combination!
