HI, GUYS.

is it possible, for me to use conditional formatting, what i am trying to do is,

if you enter a number in cell A1, for example 4, then cells B1:B4 will be colored "green", and if you enter for example 10 in cell A1, then cells B1:B10, will be colored "green"

If you have any idea how to do this, then please let me know.

Enter as formula:
