    Conditional format based on another cell column carried down column?

    If i wanted to format a cell based on the formula ( =A1>"" ) in cell C1. How would i carry the conditional format down the entire C Column? Is this achievable in Conditional formatting or will this need to be VBA?

    What does the formula need to be if i want ( =A2>"" ) in cell C2, ( =A3>"" ) in cell C3, ( =A4>"" ) in cell C4 & so on. I cant use a table due to previous creator of WB other wise i would use =at symbolA>""

    Be aware that "" is a null text string
    =a1>"" will ALWAYS return false if A contains a number ( XL evaluates the TYPE value before comparing)
    Perhaps you need =A1<>""
    Select your ranger in col C (starting in C1) and use =$A1<>"".
    That's it, the CF will expand automatically
