Default Data Validation Help

.. Whenever I made changes in X, ...

You got it wrong. The updates are supposed to be made in Y, not X. X is the
base reference. Pl read the earlier suggestion carefully. It should work as
stated.

Hello Max,

I tried your method by using exactly X and Y worksheet, then using Col A,
but it still does not work. Whenever I made changes in X, the Y worksheet
does not show the conditional formating.

Please kindly advise.

Ah, sorry to have missed that earlier. It's considerably more difficult
now,
but to an extent, perhaps you could try this op/play ..

Assuming source data is in col A in sheet: X

Make a copy of X for the daily updates, name this sheet as say: Y

In Y,
Select col A (click on the col header "A")
Click Format Conditional Formatting
Under condition 1, make it as:
Formula is: =A1<INDIRECT("'X'!A"&ROW(A1))
Click Format button Red fill n white font/bolded? OK
Click OK at the main dialog

When "updates" are made in col A, ie it's presumed the data values are
changed to other/different values, then the cells will be formatted: Red
fill
n white font/bolded. If the update involves clearing data in Y, the
format
will also be triggered.

Then at the end of each day, after you've noted whatever's triggered in
Y,
simply copy col A in Y and overwrite col A in X with a paste special as
values. This readies Y for the next day's updates. In daily operation, X
would/could be hidden safely away.

Hello,

Thank you. However, all my cells are already filled with information,
ie.
all cells are non blank. So it does not work.

What else can I do? All my cells are non blank, but I would like to
know
which cells have been changed by users.

Thanks
