    Conditional Format entire row but based on a cell containing a formula

    So, normally I use this basic formula to apply a conditional format to an entire row:

    =$AD3>0

    However, this time, the column 'AD' contains a formula which is counting the errors in the row. Because of this, every single one of my rows now highlights red (as it is technically greater than 0). Could anyone tell me a work around for this?

    Many thanks in advance!

    So some playing around actually led to me finding the answer.

    =AND($AD3>0,$AD3<99999)

    i take it the formula returns "" if no errors?
    MAYBE

    =and($AD3>0,$AD3<>"")
