I tried the both above but to no avail.

Both solutions are the same and if you have described your problem correctly
both work.

If you select a range of rows then the number in the formula must be the top
row number of the selected range

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

I want to select all the rows and if a value in column M are greater than 54
(54) and the value in column V is = 1 then highlight the row.

No IF needed
Let's say you want this to apply to rows 2 thru 20
Select the row headers 2:20 so that the entire range is highlighted
For you Conditional Format formula use =AND($M230,$U2=1)
We reference cells in row 2 here because that this the first row of our
selected range
Note that the formula used in conditional formatting generally should return
TRUE or FALSE

BTW: why in your question did you but 1 and 30 in quotes. We seldom need
quotes around numbers in Excel

I need to conditional format based on if two cells are evaluated:

If in this row the value in column U is = “1” and the value in column M is

“30” then row should be highlighted green

I probably should not wait til the end of the day to start a new excel
sheet...lol
