yes
in the first dropdown of the conditional formatting box, change the default
value from 'cell value is' to 'formula is'.. Then input a formula that
evaluates to T/f (like: $A1=1)

That should do it!

I'm OK with understanding conditional formatting but my question is for
adjacent cells. What I need to do is to enter a conditional value in one cell
(in my case a "Y") and then have adjacent cells change their color pattern
(in this case "black").

Can this be done somehow?

Thanks
