Default conditional formatting #

When using a condition with cell value referencing another cell and color as
the resulting format, the # sign appears when printing or transferring the

Do you mean the cell is filled with #####? That generally means it is
not wide enough. And Microsoft is incapable of WYSWYG printing, so
sometimes it can be fine onscreen yet print wrong. If this is the
issue, you must just be on the edge of it being too narrow, try
widening the columns just a bit.
