To do this, select the cell that you wish to apply the formatting to. In this example, we've selected cell B8.

Next, we need to select what formatting to apply when this condition is met. To do this, select 'custom format..' in the Format with drop down.
When the Format Cells window appears, select the formatting conditions that you wish to apply. We've changed the Color to Red in the Font tab and selected 'No Fill' under the Fill tab. Then click on the OK button.
