    Conditional Formatting Across Sheet Help

    So let's say I want to have cell b2 from my third sheet change if cell a1 from my first sheet has a certain value (let's just say 1 for simplicity.) What would be the formula for that?

    Hi,

    Something like this in the "Formula is", so that if A1 is greater than 10 then it is TRUE

    =Sheet1!A1>10

    I got an error message that said "You may not make references to other worksheets or workbooks for conditional formatting." Am I doing something wrong?

    Also how to I add a hyperlink button to a website like google?

    Hi,

    Sorry my mistake, what you need to do is use a named range

    Then use that in your Conditional Formatting formula
