Need help using =sumifs()

[V A]

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to return sum of specified range, with 2 criteria, the category is "x" and also falls into a specified month(x). I'm currently using the following formula:

=SUMIFS($C:$C,$D:$D,MONTH(1),$A:$A,"Services") but it only returns a value of zero.

If anyone can help or point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. 

Here a snip of how I have my table arranged

Hi there.

Untested.

=SUMIFS($C:$C,$D:$D,">=01.01.2018",$D:$D,"<=31.01.2018",$A:$A,"Services")

Thank you, your formula didn't work exactly but with a few minor tweaks I got it to work. I must of gotten tunnel vision on this so I appreciate the help!
Here is what worked
=SUMIFS($C:$C,$D:$D,">=01/01/2018",$D:$D,"<=01/31/2018",$A:$A,"Services")

I can't thank you enough!
