Summarise dates by month - excel

Ive got a column of dates dd/mm/yyyy, im trying to summaries them by month and year. Eg. if i have 01/01/2012, 23/01/2012 i would like to have a summary table showing 01/2012 | 2.

Is there a simple way to do this ? At the moment im trying to copy the full date, reformat it only to show mm/yyyy and then run a countif formula, but it seems a complex way to do it, or is this the right way ?

Use the COUNTIFS function with EDATE supplying the upper boundary.

With 01/01/2012 in C2 (with a cell format of mm/yyyy) put this in D2,

=COUNTIFS(A:A, ">="&C2,A:A, "<"&EDATE(C2, 1))
