Conditionally format a pair of columns
A user of Web Applications [asked](https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/139573/conditional-formatting-custom-formula) "*How should I fix the formula?*" with reference to:

    =IF($K4<2,$K4)

applied as a Conditional Formatting [CF] formula to J4:J8, where the desired (green fill) format was to apply to values under `2` in K4:K8. I have modified the requirement to extend the formatting to 'K' as well as 'J', so the *Applies to* range to J4:K8.

These formulae in the image below were working as expected:

How can the desired outcome be achieved?
