    Question Conditional formatting recognising blank cell with formula in (but no result) > 0

    Can anyone shed any light?

    I am using this formula for my conditional formatting on column X =IF(AND($X5>0,$N5=""),1,0)

    However column X values are formula driven, with a the result being "" if false. Therefore the conditional formatting is still applying even if X5 = 0 (i only want it to apply if bigger than 0), can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance! I am not very excel savvy and 1st time posting so bear with :D

    X =IF(AND($X5>0,$N5=""),1,0)

    conditional formatting does not need the IF
    =AND($X5>0,$N5="")
    will DO

    to add the ignore blanks in column X
    AND($X5<>"", $X5>0,$N5="")

    otherwise its better to load a spreadsheet - see yellow banner
    As >0 should not include ""

    So maybe better to see the spreadsheet
