    Conditional formatting - making 1 cell change color based on results in another cell

    Hi. Thanks for any help you can offer. I am not familiar with coding and VBA or advanced features of excel. I have a basic spreadsheet that I need to conditional format to change the cell color of one cell when the value of another cell is above or below .05.

    I need cell E8 to change to red, when the value of cell J8 is <0.05 and change to green when the value of J8 is >0.05

    Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

    conditonal format e8 as use a formula option
    two conditions
    ist is
    =and($j$8<>"",$j$8<0.5)
    2nd is
    =$j$8>0.5)
    mind you what if j8 is 0.5?

    =and($j$8<>"",$j$8<=0.5) in case you missed it
