conditional formatting formulas

[silverskye787]

if the cell in A1 is highlighted in yellow, i want B1 to be highlighted in yellow too.

what is the conditional formula to be entered in B1?

Why use a formula?
Why not select A1 > click on the format painter icon and drag it across to B1?

because I want B1 to read information on A1.

A1 is where user will set the colour and B1 will reads A1 and display the colour on B1
