Default Conditional formatting based on different sheets

Hi,

You can cheat.

Enter your conditional format formula on the sheet you want it to apply to.
For example this in C1 of Sheet 1 looking at A1 of Sheet 4
=Sheet4!A16

Now in sheet 1 in the cell you want to conditional format, point to that cell
=$C$1=TRUE

How can I make a cell change colour based on and IF statement.

I want one cell to go red if the value in another cell is negative, but the
two cells are on different sheets so I cant use conditional formatting.

Thank you.
