Default Conditional Formatting: Excel 2003 vs. 2007

Excel 2003 does not allow references to other worksheets for Conditional
Formatting criteria. Does Excel 2007? Thank you, JP.

Default Conditional Formatting: Excel 2003 vs. 2007

Hi JP

No there is no change for XL2007 (as far as I can see)
As with XL2003, you can get around it by naming the cell on another
sheet, then setting the CF to
=test=1
where test = Sheet2!C5 for example

You'd think that with all the changes they made to CF, they would have fixed
this shortcoming. Maybe next time.
