You can't refer directly from CF to cell references on another sheet, you
can get away with naming a range and using the name.

Mike,

I forgot the mention that the problem is the data where the conditional
formating is on sheet1, but the reference data in column A is actually in
sheet2. They are not on the same sheet.
