Change fill color based on value of another cell in Excel
 

How would I set/change the fill color of one cell of an Excel spreadsheet
based on the value of another cell on the same Excel spreadsheet?

Change fill color based on value of another cell in Excel
 

Select the cell (say B1) and pull-down:
Format Conditional Formatting... and pick formula is

=(A1="") and select you format (say fill red)

Then if A1 is empty, then B1 will show as red, otherwise not red.

Change fill color based on value of another cell in Excel
 

Using conditional formatting under the formatting menu. In the dialog,
change cell value is to Formula is and put in a formula that reacts to the
value in the other cell, producing True or False.
