conditional formating on cells based on another cell colour

hi

i want to do some conditional formating/automation on a table. here are my conditions

column A has two rows.

column B - H have two coloumns with two rows each, and a 'check mark' in one of the rows (matching column A's rows)

I want to be able to put a cell colour in one of the rows in column A, that will automatically fill up the 'check marked' row (with a number or icon) in the second column (B - H).


difficult to explain but I hope someone can figure what I am asking. I can give a sample of my xlsx if possible on this site.

what i have is a sports pool going on -

column A has two teams
column B has each participants choice with a 'check mark' as the choice indicator.
