If match is larger than a figure... Closed

Question

Hello,  

I have a list of data that looks something like this: 

A                  B 
1                  2356 
2                  2596 
2                  3569 
1                  5096 

and I have a condition for which "1" should not be more than 2000 and "2" should not be more than 3000. 

Is there a way to use conditional formatting such that it can lookup the data in column A and if the data in column A is >2000, or if the data in column B is > 3000, then shade the cell red? 

If I can't use conditional formatting what other ways can I use? 

Appreciate all help! 

Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 6.0

You can use conditional format. You would need two conditions as 

=AND(A1=1, B1>2000)

and 

=AND(A1=2, B1>3000)

Thanks for the help! I have one follow-up question:

I understand that conditional formatting only allows 3 conditions but if I have 4 conditions to test, i.e.

A B 
1 2356 
2 2596 
2 3569 
1 5096 
3 9239
4 22200

and my conditions are "1" should not be more than 2000 and "2" should not be more than 3000, "3" should not be more than 4000 and "4" should not be more than 5000

and all I want is if the data doesn't meet the conditions, the cell should turn red...is there any way to do it without using VBA?
