    Trouble displaying conditional formatting from one sheet in another

    I'd be very grateful for some help with an issue I'm having.

    I have a sheet, Sheet 1. In it there's a cell displaying a number and a lot of conditonal formatting in place to change the fill colour depending on many different variables.

    I also have a Summary Sheet, in which I want the same number and fill colour to display. I have no trouble displaying the number using =Sheet 1!J30 but it's when I try to copy the conditional formatting from the cell that I run into problems. What changes do I need to make to the conditional formatting formula to display it in the Summary Sheet?

    Many thanks,
    J

    Tim Sorry for off-topic interjection:

    Although there is no official rule regarding this behavior, we request that wherever possible both the question AND the answer be provided in substantive detail here within the thread. An attached workbook is an excellent aid for posing a question and offering a solution, but solely doing that with no in thread explanation makes it difficult for researchers to understand or consider the Q & A of this thread without downloading what may be a pointless doc to them, if they can do that at all. Doing that also hides the content from search engines so others may never benefit from this.

    I'm sure you understand, and we look forward to seeing you post your formulas/macros in your posts for the searching benefit of all.

    Thanks again for all your hard work here!
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Thank you for your reply Tim. Please could you explain what you mean? I've tried looking at your attached file but couldn't quite make sense of it.

    Many thanks,

    Jack
