如何使用条件格式填充列中的特定单元格

Question

On my $A:$A, I currently have a dropdown list of "Yes" and "No".

For Example:

A1 = Yes then Fill B1 with black
A7 = No  then Fill B7 with Green

If Yes then Black
If No  then Green

I know that formula below can be used in a specific cell only. How can we add a conditional formatting in an entire column B based on the the value of the cell in Column A?

=$A$1 <> "Yes"   -> B1 Conditional formatting

Answer 1

You pretty much have it.

1. Select column B
2. Add a conditional formatting rule
3. Select "Use a formula to determine which cell to format"
4. Enter:
   =A1 <> "Yes"
   Note that it does not include the "$" before the "1". Omitting the "$" makes the reference relative, so it'll fill down much like a formula in the spreadsheet itself.
