Conditional Formatting and Formula

Hello, I have data in two tables, and I need to apply conditional formatting where the data matches and where it differs. For example:

if I have a business that has 2 general managers and 3 assistant managers (table 1 - this data will change), and they should have 1 general manager and 5 assistant managers (table 2- this data will stay the same), I would like the number in table 1 to show red for example for the general manager, as there are too many, and assistant manager to go orange, as there are not enough.

Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
how would you tell excel that there are to many or to few
or is the number always 1 general manager and always 5 assistant managers
you can use a countif()
but without knowing more detail of how the data is setup difficult to help

=countif(range , "general manager")
and use in conditional formatting
=countif(range , "general manager")>1
greater than 1

and

=countif(range , "assistant manager")<>5
does not equal 5
