Conditional formats check either cell values, or formulas that evaluate to true or false. if the condition is tru, the format is applied.
In the example, the formula in B2 is posted to show how you would set up the value check so that it returns true when the condition is met. If you put this formula in a conditional format (under format | conditional formatting...), you can format cells cepending on the value of a1 - that's wht I did in cell c2.
hope that helps...post back with more info about what you are trying to do...
