Default Conditional formatiing based on another cell


Hi,

How can I change the colour of a cell and a seperate query an entire
row based on the value in a call. For example cell A1 has a number 200
in it. Cell B1 is blank. If "yes" is entered in to cell B1, I want cell
A1 to change to be in bold and a grey box. Ihave tried conditional
formatting but doesnt seem to work.

Thanks

select A1, then conditional format -
Condition 1: formula is (Not value is ) =(B1="yes")
Format what you want.

Thanks for that. However it doesnt work. Not sure whether teh fact taht
I am on a Mac has affected it? The formatting doesnt change at all.

Any other solutions?

That's good advice!

You should change the value in the first combobox from 'Cell value is'
to 'Formula is' and then enter ' = (B1 = "yes") then next box. That
will help
