how do i set a conditional format

[Guest]

I looked at some of the post and KEVIN answered most of my question in a post
to another person but I'm having some trouble, in the formula box in the
conditional format I put OR=($B$2="C") and I then set the conditions and it
worked great but how do I get the condition to b3, b4, b5 and so on without
having to put the above formula in every cell in column A. I need A1 to meet
condition in B1, A2 to meet the condition in B2 and so on. My conditional
formating is in column A

Change your formula to:

OR=(B2="C")

Select the range of cell that you want to have a conditional format.
Write the format as you normally would. Make sure to use relative
instead of absolute ie, $B$2 absolute, B2 relative.

Select B2:Bn and use a formula of

=(B2="C")
