Default I want to format a cell based on an adjacent cells value

I would like a cell automatically formatted in the same way a conditional
format works - but the format to be based on the value of an adjacent cell.

Any ideas as I cant work out how or if I can achieve this

Cumbo, Use Conditional Formatting, but change cell valve is to formula is
and use something like this, will change the cell if A1=25
=$A$1=25, so if you select B5 and put this in conditional formatting cell B5
will change when A1 = 25
