    Suppose you enter the number 5 in A1 cell.
    I want excel to disable entry (or fill them with a color) in cells A2,A3,A4,A5.

    If you enter number 2 in A1 cell.
    I want excel to disable entry in cell A2.

    If you enter number 2 in A1 cell.
    I want excel to disable entry in cell A2.
    Use Data Validation, Custom, in cell A2 using this formula

    =ISBLANK(A1)

    or

    =LEN(A1)=0

    To color cells based on the value of another cell see this link on
