Countif For Values Greater Than A Value In Another Cell?

Basically, I have data that have the titles:

Year Max allowed A B C D E F
1999 55 45 23 60 53 53 57
2000 59 45 23 60 53 53 57
2001 51 45 23 60 53 53 57

And data for several years. Each year has a particular maximum allowed exceptions per process (A, B, C etc)

I basically would like =countif(columns that contain A through F, for values greater than Max allowed for that specific yeat)

Is there a way that I can get the countif to recognize the value under max allowed as the "tripping" value for the row A through F?

So I would get a value of 2 for row 1999, 1 for 2000 and 4 for 2001
