Conditional formatting to include text from cell reference

I am using a Gantt calendar in which the daily cells are formatted to prefill a color provided it falls within a date range, example: =AND(task_end>=K$4,task_start<L$4).  How can I add a COUNTIF formula to point to a specific cell and reference text (while keeping this original formula/condition)?  Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    Here a file with the example and also a file with various examples for the conditional formatting.

    Formula  =AND($A2="Test",$B2="haus")
