Google-sheets – Google Sheets conditional formatting based on cell above it

google sheets

I have a column of blank cells. If I type something into a cell, I want the cell immediately below that one to turn red. Any ideas for conditional formatting help?

Try this custom formula: =not(isblank(offset(A1,-1,0)))

The only problem that I can see is that A1 is automatically highlighted, regardless of any value in any other cell
