You can refer to another sheet for CF only if you define a name for cell on
other sheet.

i.e. defined name "apple" refers to =Sheet2!A1

Example........On Sheet1 in A1 CFFormula is: =A1<ABS(apple)

You need to specify the Sheet name in addition to the cell if it is not

I have a similar question, only my problem is i want to evaluate A1 on tab1,
vs A1 on tab2, and apply a color pattern if A1 on tab1 ABS<1 and A1 on tab2
ABS1. How can I do this, as conditional formatting does not allow other
tabs or files?

Thanks
Mike

I have 2 columns of data.
If the number in b1 is less than a1, I want the number in b1 to be displayed
in pink.
How do I do this?
Many thanks for any help!
