Changing background color based on different cell
 

I want the background color of cell A1 to change dependant upon whether
anything has been entered into cell B1. How would I go about doing
this? Thanks in advance! :)

Changing background color based on different cell
 

Use Conditional Formatting with "Formula is": =$B$1<"" (rather than
"Cell value is")

Select the cell A1 then Select: FORMAT...CONDITIONAL
FORMATTING...Select "Formula Is" from the dropdown to the left and
enter the following formula in the entry area to the right:
=$B$1<""
Now depress the FORMAT button and choose the background color of your
choice and you should be set.
