conditional formating in adjacent cells
 

Hi
Really hoping someone can help, been up many hours trying to sort this.
Basically I want to know how to use conditional formatting for adjacent cells.

i.e

If cell A1 contains any text then make cell C4 blue

the above is just an example and will want to format C4 to a specified colour at a later date. Very new to vba and conditional formating so please be gentle.

Select C4 then CFFormula is or Use a Formula(2007 and later)

Enter =ISTEXT(A1)

Format to blue.

If by "text" you mean anything, not just text...........

=NOT(ISBLANK(A1))
