I know this may sound like a dumb question, but I have values in column A
that I want to have a grey background if their corresponding value in Column
B =1. I can't seem to find a way to establish that condition for a cell
other than itself! HELP, Please??

Select A1 and goto Conditional Formatting Condition1 : Formula is
Formula to be entered in the next field: =B1=1
Format as desired.

So do I have to Format each cell individually? Cuz I can't get it to work
for a range.

Either use format painter to copy your format down the range, or select the
range before you apply the CF condition. Make sure that your CF condition
is exactly as suggested, and that you don't, for example, have an absolute
address where you want a relative address.
