Default Conditional Formatting: Referencing from a different cell

I need to format cell A1 with strikeout if cell A3 is 0 (zero). How do I
write that?

Hi Becky,
Do conditional formating, position yourself in A1 then conditional
formating, where the formula is enter
A3=0
Then choose the format you want and done

That works beautifully, but I want to apply this conditional formatting to
the whole column (over 600 rows big). How do I do that?

Conditional formatting is a format like bold, italics, etc. So just copy it
(right drag the cell, on release choose Fill Formatting Only).

Before you do this, you probably want to change your formula to:
=$A$3=0

Either select the whole column before you apply the CF condition, or use
format painter.

Thank you, Fred. That didn't work either, but I learned something new today
- the right click & drag.

You'd want to change to =$A$3=0 (or =A$3=0) if all 600 rows are to be
formatted based on the content of A3.
If the format of A1 is to be based on A3, and each cell's format is to based
on the format of the cell 2 rows down, it stays as =A3=0.

Sorry to hear that. If you need further help, let us know what "didn't work"
means.
