I need to set conditional formatting where A1 is formatted to bold if B1 =
"Open",
same for A2 if B2 = "Open", A3 if B3 = "Open" and so on.

Is there a way I can do this formatting all at once as oposed to formatting
each "A" cell individually

Hi!
There is one: select your range in the column A, go in the Conditional
formatting box, choose 'Formula Is' (and not 'Cell Value Is' as per default),
fill in with =B1="Open" (if active cell is A1) and use the format you want
to...
Does it work?

Select all the cells that need conditional formatting.

Select Conditional Formatting

Formula is: =$a1="open"
