I would like to make it so that I can just set the conditional format for the
whole spreadsheet. So when an "a" is entered into any cell, the cell next to
it automatically is colored red as well.

What makes the cell colored red? If it is conditional formatting for that
cell, you can just include that in the next cell as well.

B2: =AND(A10,A20) ... formatted as red
C2: =AND(A10,A20,B2="a") ... formatted as red

this possible through conditional formatting or VBA? Thanks.
