How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Well, I do this very thing by using conditional formatting. I highlight the first square area and go to Format> ConditionalFormatting> then formula Is and then =$B$20>0 then change the formatting for each cell.
The next set of cells you can have as the formula =$B$20>1

Hope this helps!
