Calc Conditional formatting

I can get conditional formatting to work on a cell, but I would like to get a separate cell to be conditioned in the same way even if the cell contents are different to the original cell.
Hope that makes sense.
something like: If Cell A1 = 3 then cell A6 would be conditionally formatted to be grey.

Hi

Like this ? In my example cells in column B have style Heading if the value in the cell of column A same row is even :

CODE

     |  A  |  B  |
  1       1|x    |
  2       2|  x  |
  3       3|x    |
  4       4|  x  |
  5       5|x    |
To achieve this, I filled the Format | Conditional Fromatting... dialog with this :

[x] Condition 1
Formula is [v] MOD($Sheet1.$A1,2)=0      
    Cell Style Heading    [v]

For cell B1. Then I filled down for the next cells.

Thanks for the reply. Not been able to get it to work yet. Would you mind posting the file so that I can see how it is done better. I tried the example but still no joy.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that. I can now see what is happening & have got it working. However I have the same question, but I want to be able to use a 1 instead of a 7. When I try that the conditional formatting is applied to all cells that have any number in the previous cell.
So the mod line looks like this:

CODE

MOD($Sheet1.$A2,1)=0
Anyway around this?
Thanks
