    CONDITIONAL FORMAT a cell that has a formula in it

    Hi There

    I have a situation where I need to format a cell based on another cells answer which is derived from a formula
    I have attached a sample spread sheet to explain further .
    There are 3 scenarios to my spreadsheet

    A) Cell B8 is formatted 'red' when cell A8 is >0
    B) Cell H8 should NOT be formatted when cell G8 is = 0
    C) Cell N8 is formatted 'Green' when cell N8 is >0

    So the issue is in scenario B) . Cell H8 should not be formatted .
    Please could someone explain where I am going wrong , or help me with the correct CONDITIONAL FORMULA.

    Thanks
    Onesock

    Use this:

    =AND(G8>0,G8<>"")
