Multiple rows in advanced filters are combined using OR.  To AND
multiple criteria you need to put them in different columns, i.e. you
need this:

  [heading]  [heading]
  >14.4      <16

The [heading] should be whatever is in the heading row for column J in
the data table.  You only need those four cells, you don't need to
include any other columns from the data table.
