conditional formatting
If you want the conditional formatting test to refer to a range on another
worksheet, you must use a Defined Name to refer to the cell on the other sheet. For example, assign the name TheCell to Sheet2!A1. Then in the CF on Sheet1, use =TheCell="x" -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel, 10 Years Pearson Software Consulting www.cpearson.com (email on the web site) "jackrobyn1" wrote in message ...
