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

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