Default Conditional formatting: NEED ANSWERS FAST!!!


First, I need to know if you can set a conditionnal formatting based on
the data in a cell other than the cell you are formatting.

I have two columns: one is, for instance, indicating the type of data
(Req, Info or Guide). I wish for the cell right to it, in the next
column, be formatted accordingly. (Patterns if the cell on the left is
blank or "Info", and a validation arrow if the cell on the left is
"Req" or "Guide").

I also wish for the cell to be red if "no" is selected for this same
validation arrow. (If I can apply the precedeeg settings, I guess this
one is just plain simple conditional formatting...)

Please help me: my project is on hold until I find the most practical
way to apply those settings automatically (It needs to be applied to
any added row or data without additional formatting).
