    Select Row 8 and go to Format|Conditional Formatting, select Formula Is from 1st drop down and then enter formula:

    =$C8>1

    click Format and choose from Pattern tab

    Click Ok

    Click Ok to finish.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Did not work nothing highlighted. This works well in just a cell but does not seem to work for a row.

    Did you select the whole row 8 first? Then apply the formatting as described?

    If you want to highlight entire rows if any cell in column C is greater than 1, try this:

    Highlight the whole worksheet
    Go to Conditional Formatting
    Select "New Rule"
    Select "Use a formula to determine which cells to format"
    Enter this formula: =indirect("C"&row())>1
    Click on the "Format" button and choose your fill color
    Click OK
