Default Change Colour on a Cell after another cell has been changed

I am using a spreadsheet as a checklist for collectables, and have a row of
numbers with a row of boxes underneath. When I have a number, I place an 'X'
in the cell below the number. Using conditional formatting, I get this cell
to change colour, but I would also like the cell with the number in to change
as well. Several tries using Conditional formatting have not succeeded.

Many thanks.

Select the cell with the number in it
Choose Format Conditional Formatting
If your cell with the X in it is in cell B2, enter
Formula is =B2="X"
and set the formatting how you want it to be.
