Default Shading a range based on a single cell value.

How would I shade a certain range based on the value of a cell within that
range.

For example: When the value of A1 0, It would shade range (A1:A15) a
specific color from the color pallet.

On the Toolbar, try Format Conditional Formatting
You will need to use the 'Formula Is' option, Look in Help or go onto
http://contextures.com/xlCondFormat02.html
where you will find an excellent tutorial from Debra Dalgleish,

Alan.

Use Conditional Formatting.

Select A1:A15, then:

<Format <ConditionalFormat

Click "Formula Is"
And enter this formula:
=$A$10

Then, click on Format, and choose whatever you wish.

Then <OK <OK

Conditionally format A1:A15 using the following formula: =$A$2<0
Here's how:

Alright, thanks all. That was easier than I thought. Now I've encountered
another problem. I need to do 70 more times in the same worksheet. Is the
max 3?

If you're talking about coloring each row a different color, what's wrong
with making a 3 color repeating pattern.
You could easily see the difference between rows.

You could check out this link for an add-in, which will allow more colors:
