    Help with conditional formatting

    Hi all

    I am trying to apply a conditional format to cell based on the conditional format of an adjacent cell:

    basically if for example cell B1 (percentage) has a conditional format set to change to red if below a certain number, how can I automatically change cell A1 to change to red too?

    I have attached a file for ease of explaining.

    Cheers

    Select the range of cells A1:A2

    Conditional Formatting

    Use the "Use a formula..." option and use this formula:

    =B1>0.2

    Apply the desired formats
    OK out

    Goto the Home tab>Conditional Formatting>Manage rules

    Select New Rule>Use a formula to determine which cells to format

    Enter the formula in the box below where it says:

    Format values where this formula is true.
