Thanks for your reply. It seems you can not reference another worksheet
when using VLookup within a conditional format.

This code works as a regular equation on a worksheet and will also work in
conditional formatiing. Change the look value A1 as required. Make sure
I
got the sheet name correct. because you have a space in the sheet name
you
must put a single quote around the sheet name.

=IF(LOOKUP(A1,'WorkShifts Monday'!$A:$A,'WorkShifts
Monday'!$U:$U)="Large",TRUE,FALSE)

What I would like to do is have a conditional format which looks at the
value of the cell then find the matching value on the WorkShifts Monday
worksheet (that value would be found in column A and then when it finds
that
look at Column U. If the value in column U is "Large" I want to set the
cell
shading to blue ( I know how to set the format if the condition is met it
is
everything before that I can not figure out).

The range for WorkShifts Monday worksheet is A3:U120. I am assuming that
this would require there to be some sort of VLookUp as part of the
conditional forma.
