Default Conditional Formatting

Can I add conditional formatting on one cell (A1) BASED on the criteria from
another cell (B1)?
Here's what I want to do. IF B1 is populated at all, then I would like A1 to
have a specific coditional formatting. Is this possible?

Default Conditional Formatting

Hi,

Yes, when you go into Conditional Formatting, choose Formula is from the
first drop down and in the second write a formula, for example

=A1200

while on B1.

Default Conditional Formatting

From Excel help on adding a conditional format:
"To use a formula as the formatting criteria (to evaluate data or a
condition other than the values in selected cells), click Formula Is and
then enter the formula that evaluates to a logical value of TRUE or FALSE."
