First select cells you want to apply conditional formating, than in
conditional formating under Condition use option "Formula is", and put
formula for example

=B1=TRUE

where B1 is cell linked to check box, and than define pattern for desired
cells.

Hi All:

I was wondering if someone could help me with this. I am making a form in
excel. When a user of this form clicks on a check box, I would like a
series
of excel cells to change color. However, it seems to me that excel only
lets
you apply conditional formatting for a cell if the condition is based on
that
cell's value. I would like to control the formatting of the cell based on
another cell's value. Does anyone know how to do this?

THanks in advance for your help,

Steve-o
