Excel Formula Counting Diff IF

Hello,
I am trying to write a formula to count only certain dates of events in colum A but only IF column F meets certain criteria. I have a formula to count the differenence already in column A for another number I need, but I'm having difficulty adding to the formula to meet the 3rd critera.
This is my working formula to count events from the beginning of the year to today's date (Cell D2 is a formula for today's date):

=COUNTIF(A5:A106,"<=" & +D2)-COUNTIF(A5:A106,"<" & DATE(2009,1,1))

Now I need to make it count these same events only if they have "AM" in column F.

Here's what I have been trying with no luck...

=COUNT(IF(A5:A106,"<="&+D2)-IF(A5:A106,"<"&DATE(2009,1,1))-COUNTIF(F5:F106,"AM"))

Please Help!
