Given a table in tab named Main:

Then 2 additonal tabs in same file named:
car1
car2
Based on values from specific cells in tab car1 I color 15 e.g. (B1) yellow and (C1) 30 in red.
So far so good. The conditional formatting setup for each cell horisontally (B1 and C1) for car1 consists of about 7 rules giving different formatting (colors).
One rule for car1 cell with value 15 (B1) and 30 (C1) respectively can be:
=(IF((car1!C32/37.5)>0.8,1)) giving a yellow color
So each car1 cell has same rules but retrieve info from different columns. This means I can drag lower right corner of cell with value 15 (B1) to the right and copy it to cell with value 30 (C1). So horisontally the copy/paste of formatting is easy.
On the next line (car2) I have to get data from car2 tab though, so I can't just copy/paste formatting from line above (car1). Or can I? B2 formatting rule would be: =(IF((car2!C32/37.5)>0.8,1)) giving a yellow color
So my questions...
1) Can I copy/paste formatting also between car1 and car2 lines (eg B1 to B2) even though they are based on different data from different tabs?
2) Another option. Each line in Main sheet starts with same name as tab-name for which I need to retrieve data. E.g. A1 cell has same name (car1) as tab (car1) which I need to retrieve data for in B1.
Can I use this to make the copy/paste work by e.g. making rules using tab-name (from first cell to the left) in formula. In case how will the syntax be?
Original:
=(IF((car1!C32/37.5)>0.8,1)) giving a yellow color
Change to something like this with a correct syntax. "name in leftmost cell" to be replaced by some magic:
=(IF(("name in leftmost cell"!C32/37.5)>0.8,1)) giving a yellow color
Any ideas?
EDIT: Forgot to add an excel-example. Will add one when I find out how to make the attachments button work. Seems to hang in my chrome browser unless it requires other subscription.
