    Question Conditional Formatting between pages

    I can't find a solution to my conditional formatting problem.
    Any help would be much appreciated:

    Sheet 1 Column A = List of names
    Sheet 1 Column B = List of "yes" or blank

    Sheet 2 A1 = Drop Down List of names from Sheet 1 Column A

    What I would like to do is conditional format the drop-down list of names in Sheet 2 A1
    if the name in sheet 1 Column A has a "yes" in sheet 1 column B.

    Tricky?

    Conditional Formatting>New Rule>Use Formula

    =VLOOKUP(A1, sheet1!$A$1:$B$15,2,FALSE)="yes"

    Does that work for you?

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires
