Default Conditional formatting - source data from another sheet

Hi, I currently have a lot of data on sheet 2, linking the content to sheet 1
for easy reference. I wish to to use conditional formatting on sheet 1 with
the original data remaining in sheet 2. Unfortunately, when i try to link the
cell through the application of conditional formatting, once I click ok, it
states that you cannot do this because the linked cell is on another sheet.

The easiest solution is probably to duplicate the appropriate cells on sheet
2 to sheet 1 with links, but I dont particularly want to duplicate data to
avoid confusion.

So, to put it simply, is there an easy solution to this simple problem?

Thanks in advance
