If C4 on sheet 2 is less than 5, then fill cell A2 on sheet 1 with red.
how can that be done in Excel 2007 without VBA ?

You cannot directly reference a cell on another worksheet by conditional formatting (in excel 2003) but you can using a named range.
Create a named range "formatrng1" and assign it to sheet2 cell C4
then apply the conditional format to sheet1 A2 of:
=formatrng1<5
and change background for conditional format to red.
Edit: sorry - saw the version on your profile, didn't notice the 2007 bit in the post.
Your comment stands for 2007 as well, 2007 also cannot directly reference other sheets
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

oh right, saw etaf had uploaded a workbook with that method so assumed it worked in later versions..
I think they fixed that in 2010
Your profile suggests 2003 as well?
FDibbins - if that is aimed at me, then yes I use 2003.
my solution was for 2010 - should have said
Yes it was, I thought I had seen you respond to .xlsx-type questionsOriginally Posted by yudlugar

It's a reluctant attempt to try and pick up 2007 before I'm forced to change at work..
