=sumproduct((ai2:ai22=1234)*(am2:am22=a1)*(aj2:aj2 2=-1))

I'm trying to count the number of cells that meet criteria in multiple
columns:

Column AI contains a job number
Column AJ contains "blank", "0", or "-1"
Column AM contains the mm/dd/yyyy the job was finished

I need a COUNT of the cells in AJ that = "-1" and for which the job was
finished in a certain month
