    How to change cell colors based on data from other columns?

    I know how to do this one cell at a time, changing A1 to green when C1>0.
    How do it tell the entire column to do the same with the A column and C column being attached in the same row?
    What I want to do is set up the A column (same row ) to change color based upon entries in the C column.
    I tried autofill and it impacts all of A column when C1 is >0
    Can I get some help with this?
    Thanks, John

    John,

    Select column A.
    Click Format -> Conditional Formatting...
    Set Condition 1, Formula Is: =C1>0
    Click the Format button and apply the formatting you want shown
    Click OK to return to the sheet.

    A1's conditional format will be "=C1>0"
    A2's conditional format will be "=C2>0"

    Check for yourself to see.
