how to Conditional format a cell with a drop down list with a different text value depending on another cell which has a date entered.

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]

[TR]
[TD]2[/TD]

[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

If A1:Z1 uses a drop down list containing multiple items ie. review, checked, completed and B1 has a date which is manually entered when completed, can A1 be formatted to then show the word 'closed'?
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Conditional formatting doesn't change values in the cells its applied to, only the format of those cells.
