    Conditional Formatting referencing a group of cells

    I would like to turn cell B1 red if any of the numbers in A2 to A10 are a negative. I am able to do this with one cell. For example if A2 is a negative it will turn B1 Red but am not sure how to get it to check a group of cells

    How about
    =MIN($A$2:$A$10)<0

    This will work as Conditional Formula in B1

    =OR(A2:A10<0)
