urgent please

DO THE FOLLOWING IN EXCEL

PROVIDE A FORMULA TO ENTER IN CELL E3, TO COUNT ONLY IF MONTH IN COLUMN DATE 1 AND COLUMN DATE 2 ARE EQUAL.

SO THE FORMULA SHOULD COUNT 1 FOR ROW WITH DATE

1/5/2022

1/12/2022

1 FOR THE ROW:

3/16/2022

3/22/2022

AND 1 AGAIN FOR THE ROW

4/2/2022

4/20/2022

AND IN CELL E3 WE SHOULD SEE A RESULT OF 3 (WHICH IS THE SUM OF THE THREE 1s)

PLEASE DON'T CREATE ANOTHER COLUMN TO PULL THE MONTH SEPARATELY TO COMPARE (I KNOW HOW TO DO THAT), WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR IS GIVE JUST ONE FORMULA THAT SHOWS THE RESULT IN CELL E3, AND PLEASE SHOW A SCREENSHOT OF YOUR RESULT.
