Default Conditional Formatting Question

I have two columns of data in A in B such as:

A B
Data1
Data2 FALSE
Data3
Data4
Data5

In column B there is either a TRUE or FALSE or a blank. There may be more
than 1 instance of TRUE/FALSE in column B. However, if 1 is FALSE, all
instances are FALSE and if 1 is TRUE, all instances are TRUE.

I would like to format Data1 through Data5 in column A to be grey if any
cell in B1:B5 = FALSE. I would also like to do this with relative cell
references in order to use the format painter to repeat the formula for other
data sets.

I have tried:

Formula = AND(COUNTIF(B1:B5,FALSE)0)

This works if the cell references are absolute, but if I change to relative
references, only cells A1:A2 for the example above are formatted grey.

Any suggestions?
