Conditional Formatting based on corresponding cell input

[krazykn]

I like to create a formula for conditional formatting base on value from another cell

A1=Input numbers between 1-10
A2:A11 = shaded/filled based on value from cell A1

Example
If A1=3
A2:A4 is shaded/filled

If A1=5
A2:A6 is shaded/filled

If A1=8
A2:A10 is shaded/fill

Any tips/solution would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Corrections:
If A1=8
A2:A9 is shaded/filled

and so on...

Welcome to the Board!

Highlight cells A2:A4, and then go to Conditional Formatting, enter the following formula:
=$A$1=3
and then apply the Conditional Formatting option you want to use.

Repeat the steps for your other two ranges.

Note: Where you have multiple Conditional Formatting formulas being applied to the same cells, you will need to prioritize to decide which conditions should be checked first. After you apply all the Conditional Formatting, you can go back in to it, view all your Criteria, and re-order it any way you like (remember, with Conditional Formatting, if there are multiple conditions, once a condition is met, it stops there and will not look at any other conditions ranked below it).
